Faculty Applied Sciences

TU Delft Reactor Institute is a world-renowned knowledge centre for radiation-related scientific research and education. We share our knowledge not only with our own researchers and students, but also with all kinds of professional groups who have to deal with radiation in their work. And so we teach them how to protect themselves properly against radiation. Think of Defence staff and healthcare professionals.

We offer a one-year contract for 38-40 hours a week (1 fte), which we hope to convert into a permanent contract.
