Practical information

The salaries are somewhat hard to estimate because they grow by around 100€ per year, and are also larger for employees from abroad due to the the tax reduction known as the 30% ruling. A rough estimate of the starting salary is around 1800€/month after tax for Dutch PhDs, 2000€/month for PhDs coming from abroad, and 2700€/month for postdocs.

The PhD contract is 4 years, and you'll need to spend around 10% of the time teaching. The postdoc contract duration is usually 3 years, and there are no teaching obligations. PhD students and postdocs regularly go to conferences and summer schools. The participation in those as well as computing needs are fully covered by us.
