Job security for lecturers

Job security, career prospects and appointments with a scope adequate to encompass the tasks associated with the position - these are the basic principles of the new UvA policy on lecturers. The policy came about following extensive consultation with the local unions, Central Works Council and faculties. Lecturers provide a significant part of the education within the UvA and are therefore an important and inseparable part of the university. This means the UvA must have a specific vision on the position of lecturers, with clarity about their career opportunities. Key points of the policy. The new policy will offer lecturers better career prospects and more opportunities to develop professionally. It will also offer more security, since it includes long-term or permanent appointments, depending on the position.
