Organisation
The University of Groningen is a research university with a global outlook, deeply rooted in Groningen, City of Talent. Groningen is the lively capital of the Northern Netherlands with a high quality of life and affordable living conditions. The University has 34,000 students in BSc and MSc programmes, 4400 PhD students, and 4600 staff members. Our students and staff come from all around the world.
Quality has been our top priority for over four hundred years, and with success: the University is currently in or around the top 100 on several influential ranking lists. The Faculty of Science and Engineering (FSE) is the largest faculty within the University. We offer first-rate education and research in a wide range of science and engineering disciplines, from classical disciplines such as mathematics, astronomy, and mechanical engineering, to interdisciplinary fields such as artificial intelligence, pharmacy, and nanoscience. At FSE, education and research are strongly intertwined, and we value a strong disciplinary basis for our students. Our programmes in science and engineering, while diverse, share a common view on best practices for research-driven, international education. We are proud of the open, inclusive, and informal character of our community.
The position we offer will be embedded in the Kapteyn Astronomical Institute. The mission of the Kapteyn Astronomical Institute is to perform front-line research in astronomy, astrophysics, and related fields, aided by the presence of NWO-institutes ASTRON and SRON and the NOVA labs, and to provide an excellent educational environment for both graduate and undergraduate studies. NOVA, the Netherlands Research School for Astronomy, comprises four member institutes, including the Kapteyn Astronomical Institute, whose mission, policies, and strategies are closely linked to and partly define NOVA’s overarching mission. The excellent reputation of the Kapteyn Institute has made it possible to attract promising, high-quality astronomers to the University of Groningen. The facilities the Institute offers, such as access to world-class observing facilities, make the Kapteyn Institute a very attractive environment for astronomical research.
**Qualifications**:
- A PhD degree in Computer Science, Astronomy/Astrophysics, Physics or related fields.
- Excellent research qualities, as shown by a publication record in international peer-reviewed journals and proceedings of renowned conferences.
- A great affinity with and a good track record in teaching, appropriate for the career stage.
- At least two years of postdoctoral experience outside of the Netherlands, preferably in a different country than where you received your PhD.
- A relevant international research network.
- The potential to acquire substantial research grants from external sources.
- Demonstrable communicative and organisational competences.
- The ambition and the potential to develop academically.
- The ability to work well with others in international and diverse teams.
- Good command of spoken and written English.
Furthermore, we expect all new staff members to either have a University Teaching Qualification (Dutch: “Basiskwalificatie Onderwijs”) or obtain it within three years, and - if they do not already speak it - to learn the Dutch language within at most five years.
