Salary                     € 4.361,31 to € 6.114,87

In the maritime sector, there is a need for academic and more practice-based research to reinforce each other to make the sector safer and more sustainable. Technological solutions are offered from academia. However, without a deep understanding of the everyday practice of the sector, there might be doubt that the full potential of these developments can be realised. The Professional Doctorate

can bridge this gap by making knowledge practically applicable. The Professional Doctorate is the practice-oriented equivalent of PhD tracks at universities where the candidate conducts research at a university of applied sciences at the highest level. 

We are looking for candidates who recognise themselves in one or more of the following profiles:

  • Managers and senior professionals working in private/public organisations in the maritime domain.
  • Academic staff working at universities of applied sciences/ universities looking for a further step in their research career.

Where else than at AUAS …

  • Can you research new capabilities to enable a sustainable restoration of parts of high value with an efficient repair process.
  • Are you making a contribution to a safer and more sustainable sector by combining academic and practice-based research
  • Do you have the opportunity to work in a practice-oriented equivalent of University PhD tracks at a university of applied sciences, in Amsterdam

Do you want to know if this job is right for you? Call or send a WhatsApp message to Konstantinos Stamoulis, Professor, Aviation Engineering, 06- 21155138 or Hubert Schaafsma, Maritime Studies, 06- 11719290 and get in touch!

Here's how you will make a difference

You will conduct practice-oriented research that contributes to the sustainability, safety and competitiveness of the maritime sector. In particular our group is engaged in multiple (inter-)national research

projects which include the topic of repair innovations. With the introduction of novel repair methodologies, such as the cold spray method, new capabilities can be developed to enable a sustainable restoration of parts of high value with an efficient repair process.

During your Professional Doctorate route you follow support courses to further develop yourself and your research skills. As a member of our multidisciplinary team you are supervised by a professor and fellow researchers.

Your other perks

  • A gross monthly salary between  € 4.361,31 and € 6.114,87 (VSNU profile Researcher 3 scale 11), based on a full-time appointment and depending on education and experience.
  • An end-of-year bonus of 8.3% and holiday allowance of 8% of your gross annual salary.
  • 10.7 holiday weeks per year with a 40-hour working week.
  • Entitlement to various types of leave, such as (un)paid parental leave, care leave, adoption and foster care leave and various other arrangements.
  • A travel allowance for your commute, an NS-Business Card, your own AUAS bicycle or a tax incentive to purchase your own bicycle. If you are unable to use personal or public transport to travel to work, e.g. because of a disability, we will explore alternate possibilities together.
  • Plenty of development opportunities, e.g. via our own AUAS Academy and the online courses of GoodHabitz.
  • Discounts on various facilities, such as books, cultural courses, soft- and hardware and a number of insurances.
  • A strong focus on your job satisfaction, work-life balance and vitality.  For example, you can participate in various sports activities for AUAS staff or via the USC sport centre. You can also visit our (career) coaches and use various online tools to benefit your mental health.
  • A good pension scheme via the ABP pension fund.
  • A monthly internet allowance, a laptop and smartphone on loan.
  • Last but not least: a chance to work in a dynamic and pleasant environment with wonderful colleagues. You and your colleagues can also get together outside work, e.g. in one of our communities such as HvAPride, HvA Alumni, HvA United, JongHvA and FEM IT.
