During a scientific work placement, you will spend a certain period of time in the laboratories of SCK CEN in Mol under the supervision of an SCK CEN expert. Your mentor will be responsible for you for the whole duration of your work placement and will help you, among others, with the experiments that you will carry out in our laboratories.

How do I apply?

You can apply online for a scientific work placement through the tab ‘Available research’. Be sure to enter all required information as otherwise your application cannot be taken into consideration. The approval of your application is given by the SCK CEN Academy and will, amongst other things, depend on the availability of our experts and laboratories during the communicated period. We will keep you informed about the status of your application by email.

Note: Transfer of knowledge towards countries that did not sign the non-proliferation treaty or of which the immaculate reputation regarding peaceful application of radioactivity, scientific integrity or respect of economic rules is questioned in an international context is conflicting with SCK CEN’s interests and values. The analysis of the applicant for a specific topic will be done case-by-case in a continuous interaction with the Federal Agency of Nuclear Control and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
