Working in Dutch research and academia is very attractive. Dutch research and academia are of an exceptionally high standard. All research universities are highly ranked in the international standards and a broad variety of research subjects is being practised. In several disciplines, the Dutch scientific landscape is world-leading, such as the food sector, water management, (industrial) design and engineering.
Specifically, PhD candidates are treated differently compared to other countries; they are not perceived as students but as employees. This status gives them another more visible and responsible role within their university department.
Specially for our international visitors looking for a job in research and academia in the Netherlands, we have developed our platform FactCards.
FactCards provide information about five main subjects; arriving, living, studying, working and doing research in the Netherlands. Start browsing through all cards and information: factcards.nl
