What you will do

What we do for you

We offer you the opportunity to join one of the world’s premier research centers in nanotechnology at its headquarters in Leuven, Belgium. With your talent, passion and expertise, you’ll become part of a team that makes the impossible possible. Together, we shape the technology that will determine the society of tomorrow.

We are committed to being an inclusive employer and proud of our open, multicultural, and informal working environment with ample possibilities to take initiative and show responsibility. We commit to supporting and guiding you in this process; not only with words but also with tangible actions. Through imec.academy, 'our corporate university', we actively invest in your development to further your technical and personal growth. 

We are aware that your valuable contribution makes imec a top player in its field. Your energy and commitment are therefore appreciated by means of a market appropriate salary with many fringe benefits. 

Who you are

• You want to work in HR but are not yet inclined toward a specific area like recruitment, payroll, or L&D - you enjoy a bit of everything! 
• You relate to a “boots on the ground” approach, learning about various HR aspects through hands-on, operational questions. 
• Administration and digital tools don’t intimidate you; in fact, you recognize that mastering them makes you a better HR professional. 
• You have solid analytical skills combined with a healthy dose of empathy, allowing you to uncover the “question behind the question.” 
• Anyone can identify problems; coming up with solutions is much harder. You enjoy taking on that challenge. 
• Given imec’s international environment, you can communicate fluently in English. Preferably, you can also understand Dutch or any another language. 

IMEC and its affiliates will not accept unsolicited resumes from any source other than directly from a candidate. IMEC will consider unsolicited referrals and/or resumes submitted by vendors such as search firms, staffing agencies, professional recruiters, fee-based referral services and recruiting agencies (hereafter “Agency”) to have been referred by the Agency free of charge. IMEC will not pay a fee to any Agency that does not have a prior written agreement with IMEC, validated by its HR department, in place regarding a specific job opening and allowing to submit resumes.
