In the first three years, the gross monthly salary will typically range from €4,728 to €6,433 (salary scale 11), plus 16.3% in holiday and year-end allowances. Compensation is based on a 38-hour workweek and follows the salary scales and the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities. Researchers from outside the Netherlands can apply for a substantial temporary tax reduction. The University of Amsterdam offers an attractive pension scheme. Teaching loads are moderate and most instruction is in English; successful candidates are expected to learn Dutch and be able to teach in Dutch by the end of the tenure track.
