• organizational qualities and excellent communication skills; and
• the potential to generate external funding for research projects (for tenure track positions.

Tenure track Assistant Professor positions at the Faculty of Economics and Business are temporary positions subject to a tenure decision in the sixth year. Formal tenure track requirements include criteria with respect to research prominence, teaching and external fund raising activities. During this period, 50 per cent of the position is for research and 50 per cent is for teaching activities (teaching typically involves taking on a number of tutorial groups in two or three courses (each of 7 weeks), along with bachelor- and/or master thesis supervision). We refer the applicants to the criteria for the Tenure Track system (for a complete description see: https://www.rug.nl/feb/organization/work-with-us/job-opprtunities/).

Non-tenure track Lecturer positions at the Faculty of Economics and Business are temporary positions with a contract lasting up to five years, conditional upon a positive evaluation after the first year. Teaching and research time allocations are fixed for the first three years at 70% and 30%, respectively.

The University of Groningen offers a salary depending on qualifications and work experience starting from a minimum of € 3,637 gross per month (salary scale 11, Dutch Universities) to a maximum of € 5,656 gross per month (salary scale 12) for a full-time position as assistant professor, excluding 8% holiday allowance and 8.3% end-of-year bonus and participation in a pension scheme for employees. Favorable tax treatment may apply to non-Dutch applicants.

The University of Groningen is an equal opportunity employer. Because women are still under-represented in a number of fields they are particularly encouraged to apply.

Tenure track Assistant Professor position
You will get an initial appointment for a period of seven years, on the condition of a positive mid-term evaluation at the end of the third year of employment.
The seventh year is to compensate for any ‘life events’ (e.g. parental leave) which might take place during the first six years. Barring any such events, tenure assessments for tenure track positions will be made at the beginning of the sixth year. Tenure entails a permanent contract and promotion to the rank of Associate Professor.
The Tenure Track system is a career path which, if followed successfully, will lead to a full professorship.

Non-tenure track Lecturer position
You will get an appointment for a period of five years, on the condition of a positive mid-term evaluation after the first year. Excellent performance may lead to a tenure-track position, depending on organizational developments.

If possible, you should be willing to start by August 2019 at the latest.

We publish regularly in a wide range of top journals, such as the Journal of International Business Studies, Journal of Management, Journal of World Business, Journal of International Management, Management International Review, Organization Science, and Strategic Management Journal.
