Max hours per week: 38.00
Max salary: 8.025
Apply until:
Are you passionate about establishing a pioneering research team focused on the biological underpinnings of neuropsychiatric conditions? Do you thrive in a collaborative environment with other research entities within a supportive and innovative institute? If you seek a position dedicated to research without teaching responsibilities, this opportunity may align with your aspirations.
The Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience (NIN) is dedicated to elucidating the neural circuits and molecular pathways that underpin our cognitive functions and their alterations in brain disorders. Our institute uniquely positions itself to fulfill this mission by integrating diverse research teams utilizing cutting-edge neurotechnologies across human, primate, and rodent models. Additionally, the NIN hosts the Netherlands Brain Bank, granting access to invaluable post-mortem human brain samples, including a comprehensive psychiatric cohort. The NIN is committed to enhancing the collaboration between its neural circuit expertise and the Netherlands Brain Bank to better understand the pathophysiology of psychiatric disorders. To support these objectives, we are opening a new group leader position.
Key ResponsibilitiesWe are seeking a candidate who will employ advanced molecular or computational neuroscience methodologies to investigate the biological mechanisms associated with psychiatric disorders. You will collaborate with fellow research teams and clinical scientists to explore psychiatric symptoms from molecular interactions to neural circuitry. A background in molecular or computational psychiatry is preferred; however, candidates with diverse expertise are encouraged to apply if they can demonstrate a compelling case for utilizing the unique resources and knowledge available at the NIN to investigate psychiatric mechanisms.
Your Responsibilities Will Include:- Leading and executing fundamental research pertinent to psychiatric disorders.
- Securing external funding for research initiatives.
- Guiding PhD candidates and postdoctoral researchers while managing personnel-related aspects of your group.
- Contributing meaningfully to the mission of the NIN.
- Who are we looking for?
Ideally, you have completed your PhD within the last decade. We will consider a 1.5-year extension for each child when evaluating productivity across candidates to account for family commitments. You possess an outstanding and verifiable record in scientific research, with publications in relevant academic journals. Experience in obtaining external research funding is essential. You should have excellent communication skills and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively.
What We Offer- Research funding (initial and annual allocations)
- Access to state-of-the-art research facilities
- Competitive employment terms, including a minimum salary of € 5.247 and a maximum of € 8.025 gross per month for full-time roles (scale 12 to 14 Collective Labor Agreement Dutch Universities/KNAW). This excludes 8% vacation allowance, 8.3% year-end bonus, travel reimbursement, internet allowance, home office allowance, and pension contributions with ABP. Salary is independent of grant funding.
- Excellent secondary benefits: A benefits package tailored to meet the diverse needs of employees based on their life stage, lifestyle, or career goals. For instance, by working an additional two hours per week, you can increase your annual leave from 29 to 41 days (for full-time employment).
- For a comprehensive overview of employment terms, please refer to the relevant web page.
A Certificate of Good Conduct may be required as part of the hiring process.

Application ProcessInterested candidates should submit their motivation letter and curriculum vitae through the designated application portal.
About the Netherlands Institute for NeuroscienceThe Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience is a part of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) and stands as one of the foremost institutes for fundamental neuroscience research in the country. It engages in both basic and strategic research, with a robust and collaborative research program that emphasizes cross-species approaches to fundamental and cognitive neuroscience. Our research groups have made significant contributions in areas such as social cognition, sleep, motivation, learning, movement, vision, and decision-making, while also investigating how brain disorders can disrupt these functions. As a dedicated research institute, employment does not entail teaching duties.
The NIN is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and expertise for in-vivo recordings in rodents (e.g., one- and two-photon microscopy, neuropixel recordings, opto- and chemo-genetics, ultrasound imaging), primates (e.g., 1000-contact point electrophysiology), and humans (e.g., 3T and 7T MRI at the Spinoza Centre, 256-channel HD-EEG sleep lab, TMS, and tDCS). We also provide excellent facilities for slice electrophysiology, viral vector technology, and high-resolution in-vitro microscopy (STED, serial section two-photon, confocal microscopy, and access to electron microscopy). Research at the NIN also includes human iPSC reprogramming and (single-cell) omics technologies. The NIN is home to the Netherlands Brain Bank, which offers access to unique post-mortem human brain tissue. Collaborations with the Amsterdam University Medical Centre's Department of Psychiatry, the largest in the Netherlands, provide excellent opportunities to access patient cohorts, as does our sleep registry pre-clinical cohort.
The NIN fosters a critical mass of neuroscientists, promoting a collaborative atmosphere to share expertise among research groups and offers a dynamic multicultural environment. Our research teams comprise members from over 27 nations with diverse backgrounds, primarily in biology and psychology. English serves as the working language across all research groups. Amsterdam is an internationally-oriented city, providing an attractive, progressive, and easily integrable environment.
Diversity & InclusionThe KNAW values a working environment where everyone feels welcome and appreciated. We prioritize individual quality and development opportunities. Together, we strive for an inclusive culture that embraces diversity. We encourage candidates who can contribute to this mission through their background and experiences. In cases of equal suitability, preference will be given to candidates who enhance diversity within the Academy.
