Application procedure

As Utrecht University, we want to be a home for everyone. We value staff with diverse backgrounds, perspectives and identities, including cultural, religious or ethnic background, gender, sexual orientation, disability or age. We strive to create a safe and inclusive environment in which everyone can flourish and contribute.

Knowledge security screening can be part of the selection procedures of academic staff. We do this, among other things, to prevent the unwanted transfer of sensitive knowledge and technology.

To apply, please send via the ‘apply now’ button:

• Your curriculum vitae with detailed academic records and qualifications;
• A motivation letter of a maximum 1 page, including your first idea on the topic and your interest in research on nature-based solutions, and what you propose as the first step to start the research on co-creation for nature-based solutions and their planning and governance in places and communities with no experience in participatory planning;
• A sample of your writing, e.g., your master thesis or other written output of which you are the sole author.

Interviews will be held on 26th February 2026 and the starting date is 1 April 2026.

UU applies a strict and transparent selection procedure: only complete, timely, English-language applications submitted via the official platform will be considered. Prior contact with supervisors is not permitted, and applications that do not meet the eligibility criteria or are AI-generated will be excluded.
