Seven Postdoc Research Assistantships at Ghent University (Faculty of Arts)

[Dieter De Bruyn]

The Faculty of Arts at Ghent University has just advertized 7 postdoctoral 
research assistantships ("doctor-assistentschappen"), to start on 1 October 
2011 (or as soon as possible thereafter). The posts will be awarded to the 
candidates most likely to contribute to the Faculty's strong research 
profile, irrespective of discipline. The Department of Slavic and East 
European Studies wishes to draw attention to this opportunity, and ask 
potential candidates in the field to get in touch now, so as to receive 
detailed instructions on application details and procedures (the 
advertisement - in Dutch - can be found at 
http://www.ugent.be/nl/actueel/vacatures/aap/lw-da-122010). Please note that 
the application deadline is January 10, 2011. Candidates should not only 
hold the PhD by the application deadline but should already have published 
at least 4 articles that have appeared (or have been formally accepted for 
publication) in journals indexed by ISI (see 
http://science.thomsonreuters.com/, and click on Master Journal List), or be 
the author of a scholarly book with a publisher that appears on a Ghent 
University list (see 
http://www.ugent.be/nl/onderzoek/beleid/bibliometrie/uitgeverijen.htm).

These postdoctoral research assistantships involve an appointment for a 
fixed term of three years, which may be extended by one year (provided 
appointment has commenced no later than 1 October 2011). The positions carry 
a limited teaching load (typically one course at MA level). At least 90% of 
the incumbent's time should be devoted to activities (personal research 
and/or stimulating the research of junior team members) that lead to 
publication which can be valorized by the Faculty of Arts in terms of 
interuniversity and interfaculty funding mechanisms. Candidates will need to 
submit a (phased) publication plan with their application. Remuneration and 
social security coverage are at a competitive level (lecturer/junior 
professor), with a minimum gross starting salary of 44,000€.
