Science Tenure Track MacGillavry voor vrouwen Universiteit van Amsterdam
MacGillavry Fellowship
The Faculty of Science of the University of Amsterdam attaches great importance to the recruitment and successful development of excellent young scientists within the research and teaching staff. As part of this drive, we are initiating a new recruitment programme for top level female talent, named after the ground breaking crystallographer Carolina MacGillavry, an UvA alumnus.
In the first round of this programme we offer
- 5 MacGillavry Fellowships (tenure track)
We are seeking women that excel in one of the faculty's disciplines, who possess leadership potential and aspire to a career as a professor at the University of Amsterdam.
The fellowship
The fellowship comprises a tenure track, whereby the fellow starts as assistant professor (UD) in a temporary position, with the prospect of a permanent appointment as associate professor (UHD) as well as a subsequent career path leading to a full professorship. Depending on the fellow's qualifications, entrance at a higher level is also possible.
Tenure track
MacGillavry Fellows will be appointed for a maximum of six years as an assistant professor. During this track they are stimulated to set up their own independent research programme hosted by one of the Faculty's research institutes. The MacGillavry Fellows are expected to publish in high-profile journals, attract their own external funding and contribute to the teaching programmes within the faculty. Key performance indicators in both research and education will be monitored and will serve as input for an evaluation process, which will lead to a decision as regards tenure.
Should the fellow prove successful, she will be offered a permanent staff position as an associate professor and a subsequent personal career path towards a full professorship will be mutually agreed upon.
The Faculty of Science is also happy to consider applications from women with a more senior profile than that described here, and thus reduction in the length of the tenure track and/or entry at associate professor level are possibilities that can be considered as appropriate.
