You are interested in the development and application of digital methods in

-  Independently conducting research in the area mentioned, resulting in
contributions to leading international publications (40% of the tasks)
-  Co-supervising PhD candidates
-  Making a contribution to raising contract and indirect funding
-  Administrative duties (5% of the tasks)

Requirements:
-  Relevant PhD degree
-  Experience in research and excellent research skills, evidenced by
publications in renowned international professional journals / book form
-  A multidisciplinary background in order to be able to participate in
multiple areas of the Faculty's curriculum
-  Teaching experience at university level and demonstrable didactic
abilities and / or training, evidenced by an educational portfolio
-  Experience with digital and audio-visual equipment; affinity with ICT in
academic education
-  Team spirit and organisational experience and skills

achieve fluency in Dutch within two years
