Job description:
The department of Language & Communication at the Vrije Universiteit 
Amsterdam is looking for an energetic, innovative person to teach and to 
carry our research in the field of discourse studies, with an emphasis 
on the Dutch language (part-time, 70 %). You will be teaching both at 
the BA-level (in the Dutch and Communication & Information Studies

Your research interests should fit in with the group's research 
expertise on the efficacy and optimisation of communication in 
institutional settings. Within that framework your research will focus 
on the role of written communication. There is a preference for 
candidates with a demonstrable expertise in journalistic language (e.g., 
news genres). A relevant PhD from an accredited institution is required. 
Excellent command of Dutch is essential.

Salary is ranked according to the university pay scale at rank 11 (UD2) 
(maximum payment EUR 4,049 per month, full-time). A positive evaluation 
of the successful candidate’s performance after one year will lead to a 
tenured position. Full-time assistant professors at the Vrije
