Present (Ocober 2023) vacancies:
We have a vacancy for a laboratory technician (Dutch MBO level). We are looking for a person with a technical background, a lot of hands-on experience, with a great affinity to technical equipment. Our lab technician keeps track of small repairs, storage, lab safety and the full technical infrastructure. This position is typical at the Dutch MBO level. The position is 0.2 fte and is rather flexible in the way of handling hours (i.e. only mornings or afternoons or first two days of the week, ...).
We currently do not have open positions for PhD students.
We have a vacancy for a 1.5 yrs postdoc position starting from September 2023. The focus will be on ice spectroscopy and experimental work to determine optical ice constants.

MARIE CURIE POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWS 2022
For persons from (associated) EU member states as well as from outside Europe Marie Curie individual fellowships are supported. The selection procedure takes place typically once a year and is based on a proposal describing science project, training activities, as well as impact and implementation of the proposed research. A post-doc can apply for a maximum of two years of full support. Besides a generous salary, substantial means become available for travel and to participate in meetings, workshops and training events. More information is available from http://cordis.europa.eu.int/mariecurie-actions/.
The applicant is expected to write a detailed (and rather long) application focusing on research and training program. A small number of experts in the field judges the applications on a number of aspects (far beyond the science part). The submission dates are typically around mid September (but can vary). Decisions are made in February/March 2023. When you are interested, contact us at least 4 months in advance, writing a good application takes time.
