Fixed-term contract: 84 months.
The University of Groningen offers a gross monthly salary dependent on qualifications and work experience from € 3,475 (salary scale 11 Dutch Universities) up to a maximum of € 5,405 (scale 12) gross per month for a full-time position. The appointment will be initially for a maximum of 7 years at the level of tenure track Assistant Professor. After 5 years an assessment of performance based on established criteria will take place (see for details Career paths in Science edition 3). If the outcome of the assessment is positive, the Assistant Professor will be promoted to Associate Professor with tenure. There will be another assessment at the end of a further 4-7 year period for the promotion to Full Professor.
Please note that although we are primarily scouting for a junior faculty member, a senior candidate with exceptional qualifications may be appointed at higher (e.g. tenured Associate Professor) level after consultation of the Zernike Institute’s Scientific Director with the dean.
The salary will show an annual increase within the scale. In addition to the primary salary the University offers 8% holiday allowance and an end-of-year bonus of 8,3%.
The University of Groningen is an equal-opportunity employer and has adopted an active policy to increase the number of female scientists. Therefore, female candidates are especially encouraged to apply.
The University of Groningen provides career services for partners of new faculty members moving to Groningen.
