Conditions of employmentA temporary fulltime contract for the duration of 4 years (the initial contract will be for a period of 18 months and after satisfactory evaluation it will be extended for a total duration of 4 years). This should lead to a dissertation (PhD thesis). We will draft an educational plan that includes attendance of courses and (international) meetings. We also expect you to assist in teaching undergraduates and master students. You will be enrolled in the national research school for subatomic physics that offers multiple summer schools as well as a continuing advanced education program in particles physics. During the doctoral programme there is the possibility to stay at CERN for a period of 1 year.
You will be employed at either the NWO-I-foundation or the University of Amsterdam, depending on your research topic and supervisor. The salary, depending on relevant experience before the beginning of the employment contract, will be € 2,395 to € 3,061 (scale P) gross per month when employed by the University of Amsterdam or € 2,346 to € 3,007 gross per month when employed by NWO-I. This is based on a fulltime contract. This is exclusive 8% holiday allowance and 8.3% end-of-year bonus. A favorable tax agreement, the ‘30% ruling’, may apply to non-Dutch applicants. The conditions of employment of the NWO-I-foundation and the University of Amsterdam are both excellent, and further details can be found on
