Internship Radiation Monitoring

The Department of Nuclear Safety and Security (NS) formulates and implements the IAEA’s nuclear safety and security programme, which encompasses the IAEA’s activities to protect people and the environment from radiation exposure, and responds to the needs of its Member States related to nuclear safety and nuclear security.

The Division of Radiation, Transport and Waste Safety develops and maintains standards for radiation protection, radioactive waste safety, and safety in the transport of radioactive material that enable the beneficial uses of radiation to be exploited while ensuring appropriate protection of workers, the public, patients and the environment. It also assists Member States in the implementation of these standards and provides related services.

The Radiation Safety and Monitoring Section is responsible for the delineation of an international programme to protect workers, patients and the public from all types of exposure to natural or artificial radiation, in line with the most recent scientific knowledge and information. The Section is also responsible for the provision of radiation safety technical services to staff members and experts who may be exposed to ionizing radiation as a result of activities conducted by the IAEA.

Main Purpose:
 

The internship will support workplace monitoring and calibration services at IAEA Seibersdorf Laboratories, under the guidance of experienced radiation safety specialists. The scope of work will include assisting with routine provision of services; contributing to special projects related to training, radiation monitoring and calibration services; and assisting with the expansion and relocation of laboratories. As part of the development of own skills and competences, the intern will assist in analysis of data and preparation of technical reports.
