Are you an enthusiastic and energetic person who can provide the best possible support to our Master’s students in finding, carrying out and successfully completing their research internships? Then we are looking for you!

The Master’s degree programme in Computing Science is a successful and growing programme with four specialisations. Research internships are an important part of this programme and give students the opportunity to gain valuable experience at companies, government agencies, research groups and other relevant institutions. As an educational institution, we want to help our students find the best possible internship placements, subjects and supervisors, and encourage and support students' own initiatives. As an internship coordinator, you will manage and further develop this process.

You are the contact point for students who want to do an internship, you inform them about various opportunities and guide them during the process. You will support students in realising their own plans, for example internships at foreign institutions, and you will help them find funding (e.g. IAESTE, ERASMUS). You also keep in contact with external companies and institutions that offer internships to our students, and you are committed to expanding this network. You monitor the internship process, are aware of current internships, support students who are delayed in finding solutions, and organise an annual internship information meeting. In addition, you help us improve the internship process by developing and contributing your own ideas.

Your efforts will help us guarantee the quality of our teaching. As internship coordinator you will initially work closely with the specialisation coordinators in the Master’s programme in order to gradually take over and revamp some of their duties. Depending on your interest, qualifications and experience, other tasks for up to 0.3 additional FTE (adding up to a total of 0.8 FTE) can also be discussed, e.g. involvement in coordination and design of the bachelor portfolio or in the supervision and/or grading of research internships.

• You have a completed, relevant university education (hbo/wo) in the field of Computing Science.
• You have strong communication skills in English. A good command of the Dutch language is desirable, but applicants who do not yet speak Dutch are also welcome.
• You have experience in supervising students and know what is expected of them during internships.
• You have a solution-based approach to work and like networking and establishing good contacts with people and institutions.
• Teaching experience or educational management experience would be a plus.

Fixed-term contract: It concerns a temporary employment for 1 year with the possibility of a permanent contract after positive evaluation.

• Employment for 0.5 - 0.8 FTE. 
• The gross monthly salary amounts to a minimum of €2,846 and a maximum of €4,490 based on a 38-hour working week, depending on previous education and number of years of relevant work experience (salary scale 10).
• You will receive 8% holiday allowance and 8.3% end-of-year bonus.
• It concerns a temporary employment for one year with the possibility of a permanent contract after positive evaluation.
• You will be able to use our Dual Career and Family Care Services. Our Dual Career and Family Care Officer can assist you with family-related support, help your partner or spouse prepare for the local labour market, provide customized support in their search for employment  and help your family settle in Nijmegen.
• Working for us means getting extra days off. In case of full-time employment, you can choose between 29 or 41 days of annual leave instead of the legally allotted 20.

Additional employment conditions Work and science require good employment practices. This is reflected in Radboud University's primary and secondary employment conditions. You can make arrangements for the best possible work-life balance with flexible working hours, various leave arrangements and working from home. You are also able to compose part of your employment conditions yourself, for example, exchange income for extra leave days and receive a reimbursement for your sports subscription. And of course, we offer a good pension plan. You are given plenty of room and responsibility to develop your talents and realise your ambitions. Therefore, we provide various training and development schemes.

The Institute for Computing and Information Sciences (ICIS) organises and manages education for the Bachelor’s degree programme in Information Science and the Master’s degree programmes in Information Science and Computing Science with specialisations in digital security, data science, software science and mathematical foundations of computing science. We want to provide the best possible educational experience for our students, stimulating self-directed learning and encouraging students to focus on their own plans and goals. Our Bachelor’s degree programme in Computing Science is ranked first in its field in the Keuzegids Universiteiten.
