As one of the largest research centers in Belgium, we develop nuclear applications that make a difference today and in the future.
Driven by our passion for science and strengthened by our unique infrastructure, we continuously build on our current insights and expand our high-tech expertise across various nuclear domains. These are the building blocks for developing innovative applications for society. In doing so, we aim to contribute to a world in which current and future generations can live in a healthy and safe environment.
Our main pillars and challenges are: climate change, sustainable solutions for decommissioning, waste management, and the fight against cancer.
Functieomschrijving The Biosphere Impact Studies (BIS) research unit at SCK CEN in Mol is looking for a researcher who combines experimental work and modelling to evaluate the dispersion, exposure, and effects of radiological contamination on humans and the environment. Within the multidisciplinary BIS team, you work at the interface of laboratory experimentation and modelling. You develop and perform experiments (with a focus on plants and ecosystems), analyse results, and translate them into conceptual and mathematical models used in radiological impact studies, environmental risk assessments, and site remediation projects. You contribute to both fundamental and applied research and turn insights into practical tools and evidence-based recommendations for projects, policymakers, and international collaborations. In addition, you support impact studies and remediation projects through scientific analyses. You communicate results clearly, contribute to scientific publications, and present your work at national and international forums, in close collaboration with expert colleagues. Your role
