Why should I register?

Registration and the consequential signing in on our website is optional. We would like to emphasise that all information on our website is accessible without signing in. Furthermore, all information will be treated confidentially, in accordance with the Dutch privacy laws, and not be handed over to third parties.

I have a question concerning a job opening

AcademicTransfer cannot answer any questions and/or queries about the content of the job openings posted on our website, since we are merely mediators. Any questions and/or queries concerning the content of a job opening and/or procedures within an organisation must therefore be addressed to the particular job-posting holder.

I have a question about an organisation or job posting holder

AcademicTransfer is not in the position to render information about the participating organisations and employers. For general information about a particular organisation we would like to advise you to directly contact the organisation in question. Please visit the employer pages on AcademicTransfer to find their contact details.

I have a question concerning my career

AcademicTransfer offers job posting overviews but is not (yet) equipped to render counselling and/or career advice. Therefore, it is not possible to assist people individually in their job search. However you can find links to organisations which you might find helpful in our link section.

I would like to work outside the Netherlands

Currently AcademicTransfer offers no information concerning living and working outside the Netherland. In case you are looking for information on working outside the Netherlands it is advised to contact the embassy in your country of choice. More information on working in Europe can be found on Euraxess.eu.

I would like to work in the Netherlands

AcademicTransfer offers limited information concerning living and working in the Netherlands. Any information we do have may be found at Coming to the Netherlands.  The information is compiled out of several sources. At this point in time we cannot provide additional information and, therefore, we would like to advise you to contact the Dutch Embassy in your country or any of the organisations mentioned on our website.

Job postings outside the Netherlands

General focus on AcademicTransfer currently is job postings in the Netherlands. However, AcademicTransfer cooperates with several international job boards and is therefore able to publish a wider range of international vacancies on offer. Preferred partner is Career.edu.

1. sign in to your account on www.academictransfer.com
2. delete an "empty" search (http://www.academictransfer.com/my_at/?remove_query="") and/or

Why can't I find some of the job openings on expected characteristics such as a scientific discipline or function type via (advanced) search?

Most of the job openings on AcademicTransfer are published by employers and not under direct supervision of the AcademicTransfer team. As not all fields in (advanced) search are required while publishing, employers are free to choose which fields and content to supply.
AcademicTransfer is continually trying to convince job holders to supply as much relevant details as possible for better visibility and findability of their job opening for applicants.

I have forgotten the password of my AcademicTransfer account. How do I retrieve it?

A forgotten password of an AcademicTransfer account can be reset by following two easy steps:

• Click on the password forgotten link on the AcademicTransfer sign in page and supply your registered email address
