It concerns a job as full-time professor in the rank of lecturer (docent) or senior lecturer (hoofddocent) in the Department of Management and Entrepreneurship, charged with academic teaching (mostly in Dutch), scientific research and carrying out scientific duties in the field of Entrepreneurship and Management.
