The NextGenPhys@NL Board is collecting information on the various tenure-track and career-track systems currently in place at universities across the Netherlands. We particularly aim to gather data since the change to the tenure/career track system took place.
By filling out our short survey, you’ll help us:
Map the differences between tenure-track and career-track systems at Dutch universities.
Understand the experiences and perspectives of current and incoming tenure-track and career-track staff.
Provide valuable insights to national representative bodies (such as the Dutch Physics Council and NextGenChem@NL).
Your input will directly contribute to a white paper comparing tenure-track and career-track systems and highlighting opportunities for improvement. The results of the survey will be made publicly available on the NextGenPhys@NL website.
If you are on a tenure track/career track, or work at a university that offers tenure-track/career-track positions, we invite you to fill out the survey today. Note that we welcome input from all faculties and not solely from physicists.
Tenure-track/career-track systems at Universities in the Netherlands
Join us at NWO Physics 2026 in Veldhoven!
Together with the Dutch Physics Council (DPC) we are organising the New PI meeting on January 19th aimed at early career researchers. This year the topic will be tenure track rules across Dutch universities.
More info to come!
We joined NextGenChem@NL on 19/20.06.2025 in Enschede to discuss Academic research at crossroads: Impact on policy and Funding.
This marks the first event of NextGenPhys@NL!
Thank you Ivana Lin for inviting us, and Maz Ali for introducing NextGenPhys@NL.
