Nuclear Fuel Cycle Expert for Short-Term Assignments

Organizational Setting The Division of Nuclear Fuel Cycle and Waste Technology (NEFW) comprises the Nuclear Fuel Cycle and Materials Section, the Waste Technology Section, the Decommissioning & Environmental Remediation Section, and the Research Reactor Section. The Division supports Member States in building capacity to access technologies, share good practices, and develop safe and effective approaches across all aspects of research reactors, nuclear fuel cycle, decommissioning, radioactive waste management, and environmental remediation.
Main Purpose To provide qualified candidates to IAEA Departments for multiple short‑term positions and assignments, the Nuclear Fuel Cycle and Materials Section maintains a roster of interested applicants. Qualified consultants and experts worldwide who are available for short‑term or temporary assignments are encouraged to register and create profiles. Registration does not commit the IAEA to any vacancy; it is valid for two years and must be renewed thereafter. The experts’ involvement will contribute to fostering technology and knowledge transfer, adopting sound policies and strategies, and promoting information exchange to build Member States’ capacity in all aspects of the nuclear fuel cycle.
