Recruitment of post-doctoral fellow
Support for managers
This page provides support and information on the recruitment process for post-doctoral fellows.
Recruiting a new postdoctoral researcher is a strategic decision and often a major investment for the department. A well-run recruitment process increases the chances of a successful recruitment and minimizes the risks of recruitment failure.
A postdoctoral position is a merit-based position that is primarily focused on research. It is an initial step in the academic career and is regulated by a central collective agreement, the Postdoctoral Agreement.
