Before you contact me to apply for an intern | PhD | PostDoc position

Please carefully read the instructions below before contacting me — whether by email or through another medium, such as LinkedIn — to inquire about or apply for an intern, PhD or PostDoc position in my group. If you do not follow these instructions, I will consider your communication unsolicited and treat it as spam.

o Unfortunately, we cannot offer any student internship positions, except for Erasmus+ internships, in our group. So, please do not contact me to inquire about internship opportunities in our group if you are not supported by Erasmus+. However, inquiries about self-funded visiting researcher (PhD) positions are more than welcome.

o In the Netherlands, PhD positions are paid university jobs, not student positions for which you can simply enroll in a PhD program. They require dedicated funding, typically through a research project or grant. So, please do not contact me asking how to enrol in our PhD program.

o If there are no PhD/PostDoc openings posted on our group website, then this means that there are no PhD/PostDoc openings in my group. So, please do not contact me to ask whether there are any PhD/PostDoc openings. Just have a look at our group website or the general vacancy site of the University of Amsterdam.

o Never apply for a position to me personally. If there is a job opening (see the previous bullet), you must apply for the position through the official application portal specified in the job advertisement.
