Researcher Regional Transitions
1 maand geleden
As a Researcher in Regional Transitions within the Regional Development and Spatial Use Team, you will work on the various transitions that come together in regional developments, both urban and rural. Think of the agricultural transition, the energy transition, climate adaptation, and the spatial and social issues that arise from these. You have an integrated view with the necessary knowledge about policy, governance, and social and spatial issues. With this perspective and knowledge, you contribute to solutions for both the short and long term. You do this by working in a team towards a transformative and systemic approach with partners in the region (public and private, knowledge partners, and societal parties) and in dialogue with society.
**Our team***
The Regional Development and Spatial Usage team consists of a highly varied and interdisciplinary group of researchers, ready to assist regions, cities, and areas with the mentioned transitions. In a collaborative search with governments, companies, and area partners, we work on a practical knowledge base and methods necessary to enable the transitions. A knowledge base that integrates knowledge and brings together and mobilizes stakeholders; a knowledge base that is not only spatial-physical or spatial-economic in nature but also focuses on policy, collaboration, and people: integral and systemic.
**The joint challenge**
Within our team, you will contribute to Dutch and European research projects where the various transitions are central or come together. This ranges from European projects within the Mission on Climate Adaptation to policy-supporting research around the agricultural transition, the energy transition, or a combination thereof. Highly varied and with a clear focus on enabling (mission-driven) policy. Wageningen University & Research offers excellent terms of employment. A few highlights from our Collective Labour Agreement include:
- working hours that can be discussed and arranged so that they allow for the best possible work-life balance;
- the option to accrue additional compensation hours by working more;
- sabbatical leave, study leave, and partially paid parental leave;
- there is a strong focus on vitality and you can make use of the sports facilities available on campus for a small fee;
- a fixed December bonus of 8,3%;
- excellent pension scheme.
In addition to these first-rate employee benefits, you will of course receive a good salary. We offer, depending on your experience, a competitive gross salary of between €3,088;
- and €5,737;
- for a full-time working week of 36 hours, in accordance with the CLA Wageningen Research (scale 10-11). Additionally, a contract for 32 hours can be discussed. You will initially receive a one-year contract, which will be extended to an open-ended contract upon in case of unchanged circumstances.
Wageningen University & Research encourages internal advancement opportunities and mobility with an internal recruitment policy. There are plenty of options for personal initiative in a learning environment, and we provide excellent training opportunities. We are offering a multi-faceted position in an international environment with a pleasant and open working atmosphere.
You are going to work at the greenest and most innovative campus in Holland and with your work you have a clear and positive impact on society. At WUR we work on the most pressing challenges of our time, like climate change and feeding the world in a sustainable way.
**Coming from abroad**
Wageningen University & Research is the university and research centre for life sciences. The themes we deal with are relevant to everyone around the world and Wageningen, therefore, has a large international community and a lot to offer to international employees.
