Nuclear science that can change the world
Start applying your knowledge
From molecular biology to particle physics – at SCK CEN, you'll find a community of researchers who are working on a wide range of ambitious projects. Still, our researchers share the same goal: improving society with our expertise and innovative nuclear applications.
In order to truly achieve this goal – and impact society at large – SCK CEN has recently started a few larger projects: MYRHHA, RECUMO and NURA. These ventures require the very best minds of our generation. And for that, we’re looking at you.
Develop unprecedented nuclear application
-
At SCK CEN, with the team and within the framework of the project, you can explore and broaden your area of expertise. You will receive the means to partake in relevant training sessions and attend specialized congresses to remain an expert in your field.
-
Whether you discover new ways to protect patients from radiation, produce new radioisotopes for better cancer treatment or develop innovative methods to deal with radioactive waste issues – our aim is to apply nuclear science in unprecedented ways.
-
At SCK CEN, you will have cutting-edge infrastructure at your disposal, helping you to perform game-changing nuclear research projects.
There’s a place for every researcher
Imagine a grid. On the horizontal axis, there’s a wide variety of nuclear research projects (e.g. MYRRHA, RECUMO and NURA and others.). On the vertical axis, we list the many required scientific profiles (for instance in biology, physics, chemistry).
Undoubtedly, somewhere in that grid is your sweet spot: a project that motivates you to take nuclear research to the next level.
