We are a diverse and collegial group of research-oriented colleagues, including a terrific group of junior and recently hired scholars. The working language of the department and school is English. In addition to the bachelor’s programs, the department is hosting five master’s programs, including one in Supply Chain Management. In addition, the department houses Ph.D. programs, which prepare researchers for productive academic careers with excellent international placements. 

The department has a very strong research orientation with a focus on high-quality publications. We aim to maximize the research time available to research-active faculty. The teaching load for tenure-track faculty is the equivalent of two courses per year plus supervision of bachelor’s and master’s theses. We expect multiple publications in top journals over the tenure clock. Research time allocation for tenured faculty is a function of individual performance and preferences, but research towards publications in top journals remains a priority at all ranks. Compensation is competitive and among the top in the Dutch universities. In addition, we provide guaranteed travel and starting research budgets.
