UM as an employer
Maastricht University (UM) strives to be the employer of choice for people from the Netherlands and abroad who combine inquisitive and creative minds with ambitious and optimistic personalities. Offering outstanding pay and fringe benefits in addition to a carefully thought-out career development policy, UM seeks to challenge, attract and retain high-quality staff.
Two key aspects of its HRM policy are offering opportunities to talented young scholars and encouraging more women to undertake academic research. Innovation, too, is a prominent feature of the university's HRM policy. The Knowledge Centre for International Staff supports foreign staff relocating to the Netherlands, helping them settle in as quickly as possible.
The terms of employment of Maastrich University are set out in the Collective Labour Agreement of Dutch Universities (CAO). Furthermore, local UM provisions also apply.
