Working in science
A world from which we demand more and more requires people who can make a contribution. Critical thinkers who will take a closer look at what is really important. People who wish to work together with their colleagues and with experts from other disciplines, in an open and safe environment where creativity and initiative are valued. Our modern, sustainable campus is compact and our work environment is informal. This means that your colleagues are all within easy reach, both literally and figuratively. And our facilities offer you the scope to put your ideas to the test and push your boundaries.
You have a part to play
Radboud University contributes to a healthy, free world with equal opportunities for everyone. And for this purpose, we require diverse and versatile people from all over the world, who wish to share and expand their knowledge and experience, so that we can work together to fulfil your ambitions as well as our own. There is ample opportunity for development. You will also find that our terms of employment focus on your needs, which makes it possible for us to help you achieve a good work-life balance.

Impact through research
What is good research to you? For us, this means discovering, digging, collaborating, discussing and inspiring. You can judge us by our world-renowned research facilities and institutes such as the HFML-FELIX or the Donders Institute. But why not simply judge us by our science? By the knowledge we acquire through interdisciplinary collaboration and by the impact this has on humans and the world.
