Junior Members
Become a Junior Member of the Centre for Complex Systems Studies (CCSS)
Who is eligible?
UU scientific temporary staff (PhD researcher, Postdoctoral researcher) are invited to apply for junior membership of the CCSS. Scientific temporary staff resulting from funded CCSS proposals will automatically become junior members of the CCSS. UU scientific staff (Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, and Full Professor) are invited to become an Associate Member of the CCSS.
How to apply?
The procedure is very straightforward. Simply email a short motivation and your CV to ccss@uu.nl and the CCSS board will decide within one month.
What is the benefit?
The Centre is the physical hub for complexity activities at Utrecht University. As a junior member, there is always a desk available for you at the CCSS, and exclusive access to our funds, like the Swaantje Mondt Fund for exchange PhD students. Our other facilities such as meeting and activity rooms are also available for use. Please check Contact us for more information.
What is the obligation?
A junior member commits to an average presence at the CCSS of at least 2 days/month of his/her time, including participating in any CCSS related activities, see our Calendar for more information.
What is the participation framework?
UU scientific temporary staff remain employed at their departments/faculties and the CCSS will not provide any financial compensation for the participation in CCSS activities. Before UU scientific temporary staff participates in educational activities at the CCSS, it is advised to discuss this with the education director at their department as it may have consequences for the teaching load at their departments.
Each scientific proposal (e.g. to NWO) which originates from discussions/activities at the CCSS and which is led by a CCSS member (Associate Member, Junior Member or External Member) as principal investigator (PI) will be submitted through the academic institute of this PI. If possible, additional material budget will be claimed in the proposal for the CCSS (as the member participates in the CCSS); this part of the material budget will then flow into the CCSS. Papers resulting from the funded project(s) will have the CCSS as one of the affiliations of the author who is the CCSS member.
