We offer:

- A challenging job in a dynamic and ambitious university.
- The opportunity to develop yourself (a.o. through obtaining UTQ (BKO in Dutch)), and to conduct research as a part of the Algorithms, Geometry, and Applications cluster.
- A permanent appointment after an initial 1-year trial period. The starting date is flexible, but preferably as soon as possible.
- A gross monthly salary of a Lecturer (UFO Lecturer 3 or 2) between € 3,807 and € 5,922 (based on a fulltime appointment), depending on experience and knowledge.
