You should also be able to obtain substantial external funding for relevant research projects, both nationally and internationally.
 
You will be expected to initiate collaborations with other institutes of the Faculty of Science and other Faculties at Radboud University in teaching and research; contribute to teaching (reflection courses and Master’s thesis supervision); supervise PhD research projects; publish research results in relevant and prominent peer-reviewed journals; and engage in societal debates and policy concerning responsible science.
