The Geological Survey of Belgium, part of the Institute of Natural Sciences, is expanding its GeoEnergy team to implement BE.Hydrogen, Belgium’s national geoscientific exploration programme for natural hydrogen.
We are looking for three motivated scientists to help establish the scientific foundations needed to explore natural hydrogen across the Belgian subsurface:
- 1x Geochemist (M/F/X)
Contribute to geochemical field campaigns and the interpretation of gases, waters and rocks; identify geochemical indicators of natural hydrogen systems; and integrate geochemical results with geological, geophysical and hydrogeological data.
This is a full-time, two-year position requiring at least two years of relevant experience in geochemistry applied to geological systems. - View the Geochemist position
- 1x Geomodeller (M/F/X)
Develop geological and dynamic models of the Belgian subsurface, integrate multidisciplinary geoscientific datasets, investigate subsurface fluid systems and help identify and prioritise areas for exploration.
This is a full-time, two-year position requiring at least two years of relevant experience in geological modelling and/or dynamic modelling of subsurface fluids. - View the Geomodeller position
- 1x Junior Geologist (M/F/X)
Take part in field investigations, collect and critically assess existing data, support the design of exploration campaigns, contribute to geological descriptions and analyses, and help translate field observations into an improved understanding of the Belgian subsurface.
This is a full-time, one-year position. A Master’s degree in Earth sciences or a related discipline is required, but no specific professional experience is needed. - View the Junior Geologist position
Location: Geological Survey of Belgium, Brussels
Application deadline: 16 August 2026, included
Candidates should submit an updated CV, a motivation letter, copies of their degree certificates and, where relevant, supporting documents demonstrating their scientific experience. These positions offer the opportunity to work at the interface of field exploration, laboratory analysis, data integration and predictive modelling within a multidisciplinary and international research environment
