The Nuclear Engineering Department (NED) at Jordan University of Science and Technology (JUST) is glad to announce an international atomic energy agency (IAEA’s) Safeguards Traineeship Program for Young Graduates and Junior Professionals that will be conducted from 1 February 2021 to 30 November 2021 at IAEA Headquarters in Vienna and, as appropriate, in nuclear institutions and facilities in Europe.

The objective of this program is to increase the number of qualified candidates from developing countries for a position of safeguards inspector in the IAEA or their national nuclear organization. In addition to enhancing the technical skills and competence of the trainees, the Traineeship Program will provide the participants with opportunities to broaden their knowledge about the peaceful application of nuclear techniques and their implementation at a facility and a State level.

The selected trainees will receive ten months of education and on-the-job training at the IAEA Headquarters in Vienna and, as appropriate, in nuclear institutions and facilities in Europe. Teaching is based on active learning, requiring a strong commitment of the trainees to day-to-day activities and implementation and presentation of nuclear-related projects.

The award of a traineeship does not imply any commitment of appointment with the IAEA. The Traineeship Program is intended to prepare trainees for employment in their home countries in the field of peaceful uses of atomic energy. All instructions will be in English and trainees will receive stipends as determined by the IAEA’s Rules and Regulations.

As the Traineeship Program is scheduled to begin on 1 February 2021, we are required to initiate preparatory actions for nominating one person of our department’s recent graduates 2018-2020 (including graduates of the current academic year). So, if you are one of the department’s 2018-2020 graduates and interested to enter the nomination competition, please, send your Résumé, and scanned photocopies of your English transcript & certificate via email to nuclear@just.edu.jo, not after 1:00 PM, Tuesday, August 11th (applications sent after this time will not be considered).
