Fully paid PhD positions in the Faculty of Arts

Vacancy number 1.2007.00322

The Faculty of Arts of the VU University Amsterdam offers a number 7 of fully paid PhD positions, starting from February 1st 2008. Applicants for these positions may submit a research proposal about any topic matching the Faculty’s research profile (see http://www.let.vu.nl/onderzoek/promoveren/vacatures/researchProfile/start.htm). In principle, the positions take the form of three-year contracts on the basis of fulltime employment. However, parttime appointments are also possible.
Job description
You will conduct research on a topic of your own choice. To guarantee the connection between the Faculty’s current research and the proposed PhD project, you must seek the advice of one of the following persons prior to your application:

• For Language and Communication: Prof. Gerard Steen, e-mail: gj.steen@let.vu.nl.
• For History: Prof. Joris van Eijnatten, e-mail: j.van.eijnatten@let.vu.nl.
• For Archaeology, Heritage Studies, Classics, Art History: Prof. Jan Kolen, e-mail: jca.kolen@let.vu.nl.
• For Literary Studies: Prof. Dick Schram, e-mail: dh.schram@let.vu.nl.

The results of your research are to be presented in a dissertation by the end of your appointment. Furthermore you will do PhD coursework and you will present your research findings in academic journals and at national and international conferences. You are also expected to teach courses in the Faculty’s Bachelor’s or Master’s programmes and to participate in general activities of your research group.

Requirements
You hold an MA degree or the equivalent in a relevant field within the humanities, or are in the final stage of completing requirements for such a degree. You have an analytical mind and a responsible independent attitude to work, displaying both patience and creativity. You have the ambition to become an excellent academic researcher. You have good communicative skills, both orally and in writing.

Contract details
A contract of employment is offered, initially for a period of 12 months, extendable to three years following a positive evaluation (in the case of fulltime employment). The total duration of three years is the faculty standard for candidates who have completed five years of academic education, including a two-year Research Master’s programme. However, a shorter or longer contract is certainly negotiable. Good reasons for a longer contract include holding a Dutch doctorandus degree or having completed a one-year Master’s programme (implying a total of four years of academic education, rather than five) or a project involving relatively labour-intensive data collection. Shorter contracts are imaginable for candidates who are already in an advanced stage of preparing a dissertation in their own time, and only need one or two years for its completion. Visit our website www.vu.nl/vacatures for a review of our attractive conditions.

Salary
The salary is based on the salary scales for academic staff. The salary in the first year amounts to € 1,956,- gross per month, increasing to € 2,387,- per month in the third year, based on a fulltime employment.

Information and application
For more information about these positions and the application procedure, please contact Marco Last, Faculty’s PhD Coordinator, +31 (20) 59 86532, e-mail: mc.last@let.vu.nl. Written applications can be sent before October 29th, 2007 to the VU University, Faculty of Arts, attn. Dr. G.J.M. Nijsten, Managing director, De Boelelaan 1105, 1081 HV Amsterdam, The Netherlands, or by e-mail: vacature@let.vu.nl.

The vacancy number should be mentioned in the e-mail header or at the upper left corner of the letter and envelope. Your application should consist of: a letter of application, indicating your ambitions and your motivation, your curriculum vitae, preferably with two addresses of referees, photocopies of your academic transcripts and diplomas and a research proposal following the format that can be downloaded from http://www.let.vu.nl/onderzoek/promoveren/vacatures/researchProfile/english.htm.

Interviews with selected candidates are scheduled for November and December 2007. The preferred starting date is 1 February 2008, but later starting dates are negotiable. Any other correspondence in response to this advertisement will not be dealt with.
