Radboud University
Radboud Services – Academic Affairs – Student Life and International Mobility
Application deadline: 08-07-2026

Always wanted to have one of the best jobs on campus? The Radboud International Students (RIS) Team and Student Life and International Mobility (SLIM) are recruiting a new student worker!

Responsibilities

As RIS coordinator

Being a RIS coordinator means you are committed to giving international students the best possible start in Nijmegen. Together with other student employees, you will organise Intro Weeks in August and January for international exchange and (Pre-)Master students.

The tasks involved are diverse, from giving presentations/ presenting pub quizzes, to booking the venues for the activities, to administrative work like making mentor groups, to managing the financial administration. You also have a lot of contact with international students and answer all their questions via email or Instagram DM and with their mentors via mail and whatsapp.

Besides the Intro Weeks, the team also gives assistance during activities organised for all international students like the Week of the International Experience (including the Global Night), Working in The Netherlands workshops or farewell receptions. On top of that, RIS offers a platform to international students through social media. On social media, mainly Instagram, we share everything that has to do with student life in Nijmegen and in the Netherlands in general. It is therefore important that you have an affinity with social media, enjoy creating content and other promotional material and you like standing in front of the camera as a representative of RIS.

More information about these and other topics can be found on our website:To get a glimpse of our events and the content we create, you can check our INSTAGRAM

During other SLIM activities

SLIM also organizes activities, like the Radboud Go Abroad Week or events for student organisations and their boards. Being part of the RIS team also means you will help at the other activities, when needed and create promotional material.

The coordinators will mainly work under supervision of the internationalization officer of SLIM in charge of RIS activities, but will also be working with other SLIM colleagues.

*Please note that it is not possible to apply for this job if you need a working permit for the Netherlands, as the hours you will be working for SLIM exceed the number of hours you are allowed to work under Dutch law.
