Working in science
A world from which we demand more and more requires people who want to contribute. Critical thinkers who will take a closer look at what is really important. People who work together with 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.
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 people and the world. Curious to see what that looks like in practice? Read how our research impacts the world around us on Radboud Recharge. Or explore our research themes.
