Rosalind Franklin Fellowships
RuG Rijksuniversiteit Groningen
The University of Groningen offers a prestigious fellowship programme, to
promote the participation of women in the Liberal Arts and Natural
Sciences, named after Rosalind Franklin, whose X-ray studies of DNA were
crucial to solving its structure.
One Fellowship is available at the Faculty of Spatial Sciences
for women in the field of Human Geography, Demography and Planning.
The Faculty of Spatial Sciences has about 700 students and 75 staff members
and it consists of 4 departments, viz. Cultural Geography, Economic
Geography, Planning and Demography. All the departments have their own
research programme, that is organized in the faculty research institute
called URSI (Urban and Regional Studies Institute). The URSI-programme is
participating in the national research school NETHUR.
Applicants must have:
o a PhD degree.
o an outstanding research record and be the author of at least 5
publications in international peerreviewed journals or in books at renowned
publishers.
o international experience in a postdoctoral position, i.e. two or more
successful (publications!) years preferably at a foreign research
institution.
o Teaching experience and qualifications are preferred.
o demonstrable organizational qualities and excellent communication skills.
NB
At the moment the candidate must not be employed by the University of
Groningen.
Successful candidates will set up their own research project(s) in the area
of their choice within the URSI reasearch programme and will be expected
to establish their own research line and also attract external funding in
collaboration with colleagues at the University of Groningen and elsewhere.
They will also contribute to the development of the teaching program of the
Faculty.
The fellowship of at most five years comprises a salary of at least Eur
2934 gross per month (salary scale 11, full time position), not including
the holiday allowance of 8% and the end of the year bonus of 2 % of the
actual salary. The salary and the length of the fellowship phase depend on
previous postdoctoral experience.
Following a favourable evaluation at the end of the first 5 years, the
fellow will be awarded tenure and promotion to the rank of Associate
Professor. After a further five years another evaluation will take place
and if this proves favourable, promotion to Full Professor will follow
