Navigate your career

Start orienting yourself on six different career journeys for researchers in the Netherlands, both in and outside academia. On the interactive career journey map above, you can explore research positions in six sectors. We call it the Career Navigator. It gives you a broad overview of research career possibilities in the Netherlands.

The Career Navigator is partially subsidized by SoFoKleS, the Social Fund for the Knowledge Sector.

By clicking on a position in the Career Navigator in the header of this page, the following information will appear:

• Facts & figures: general information about the position, tasks and skills.
• How to get to your next position: tips from an expert in that sector.
• Personal stories: experiences from researchers who just took that career step.

The Career Navigator shows you possible next steps in other sectors. Start exploring your options!

We are continuously adding new content to the Career Navigator. Do you want to share your personal story? Please fill in our form and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
