Job Radboud University Nijmegen - Joliot-Curie Fellowship

The Faculty of Science at the Radboud University Nijmegen (Netherlands) is pleased to offer several tenure track fellowships to talented young women with outstanding potential in the field of chemistry, physics, and astronomy. The Joliot-Curie fellowships are available in three of the faculty’s prestigious research institutes. This highly interdisciplinary and collaborative environment offers exceptional research opportunities to independent, motivated and gifted female scientists.

You are encouraged to launch your own independent research program at one of the faculty's research institutes. You are expected to publish in high-profile journals, attract your own external funding and contribute to the teaching programs.

You will be appointed as assistant professor (UD) for up to five years and will be offered a permanent position as assistant or associate professor (UHD) depending a successful evaluation. The evaluation will be based on a set of objective criteria. The university also welcomes applications from women with a more senior profile and is happy to offer them a customized tenure track. A full professorship is possible depending on the fellow’s long-term performance. Starting salary depends on experience.

Strategically located in Europe, Radboud University Nijmegen is one of the leading academic communities in the Netherlands. A place with a personal touch, where top-flight education and research take place on a beautiful green campus in modern buildings with state-of-art facilities.

The Faculty of Science has three interdisciplinary research institutes with fellowship opportunities in the field of chemistry, physics, and astronomy: Institute for Molecules and Materials (IMM): conducts excellent interdisciplinary research in the field of chemistry and physics and offers a strong interplay between experimental and theoretical research groups. IMM and the Nijmegen Centre for Molecular Life Sciences aim to further strengthen their leading activities at the interface of chemistry and biology.IMM also has several unique research facilities, including the High-Field Magnet Laboratory, NanoLab, Free Electron Lasers, and a Nuclear Magnetic Resonance laboratory. Fellowships are available in the field of chemical biology and advanced spectroscopy of molecules and materials. Institute for Mathematics, Astronomy, and Particle Physics (IMAPP): centers around the theme of the origin of the universe. The particle physics group – member of Nikhef – has a vigorous theory program and participates in experiments at CERN and Fermilab. The astronomy group is active in the area of compact binaries, radio astronomy and, jointly with the particle physics group, the area of gravitational waves and cosmic ray physics. Fellowships are available in the field of mathematical physics, particle physics or astroparticle physics. Donders Centre for Neuroscience (DCN): studies the human and animal brain with a broad repertoire of experimental techniques and informatics tools. The research is conducted on different levels: from genetic, molecular, neuronal cells to behavior. Fellowships are available in the field of new molecular imaging techniques in neuronal systems.
