At the Brazilian Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM), we are driven by a passion for science. Our environment is a vibrant research and development hub where professionals from diverse specialties connect to tackle complex challenges and create solutions for relevant problems—especially in health, energy, renewable materials, and sustainability.
We are a Social Organization supervised by the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation (MCTI), at the forefront of scientific research in Brazil. We operate Sirius, the largest scientific infrastructure ever built in the country, and are currently developing the Orion project—a laboratory complex dedicated to advanced pathogen research, available to the national and international scientific community.
We offer a broad range of career opportunities for professionals with diverse profiles. At CNPEM, we conduct cutting-edge research spanning nanotechnology, biosciences, biotechnology, biofuels, scientific instrumentation, and accelerator physics—carried out respectively by the National Nanotechnology Laboratory (LNNano), Biosciences Laboratory (LNBio), Biofuels Laboratory (LNBR), and Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS). These initiatives are strengthened by challenging technological projects and frontier engineering solutions led by the Deputy Directorate of Technology (DAT).
This entire ecosystem is supported by an integrated network of strategic areas—including information technology, communications, project management, legal \& compliance advisory, human resources, finance, procurement, sustainability, and innovation—distributed across the General Directorate (DG) and the Shared Services Directorate (DSC). The Deputy Directorate of Infrastructure (DAI) ensures facility maintenance, engineering support, and architectural development, creating optimal conditions for all activities.
Ilum School of Science complements these efforts with a Bachelor’s program in Science and Technology, offering an innovative curriculum that prepares future generations of scientists for tomorrow’s challenges.
We believe success is achieved through dedication, collaboration, and a clear sense of purpose. We value continuous development for our professionals and students, offering an inspiring and supportive environment for professional and personal growth.
We are committed to sustainability and seek solutions that promote a greener future. We prioritize the care and well-being of our employees while valuing diversity and fostering an inclusive environment where everyone is welcome and respected.
