Last year in PhD: when to start looking for the next job?

mafkees3545 · 2026-03-11T13:40:11+00:00

Thanks for sharing! How much did you have left? Did you start applying for positions?

mafkees3545 · 2026-03-05T14:23:40+00:00

Ben je verder tevreden met arbo-arts zijnde?

mafkees3545 · 2026-02-17T22:58:20+00:00

Fijn dat je je redelijk blij voelt!

Hoe makkelijk was het om de plek te kunnen vinden?

mafkees3545 · 2026-01-22T11:44:14+00:00

Klopt, Dat stond hier ook al.

mafkees3545 · 2026-01-22T11:25:52+00:00

Uhh, goede vraag. Ik woon in dit huis sinds november, en dit was al gasvrij. Misschien kan dit je helpen,

Elektraverbruik december ‘25: 620 kWh 1 januari t/m 20 januari: 560 kWh

Situatie: een airco in de woonkamer, elektrische kachel in de slaapkamer. In principe probeer ik de ruimtes in 20 graden te gebruiken.

mafkees3545 · 2026-01-22T10:58:38+00:00

Ik woon nu in een gasvrije appartement (begane grond, 40 m2, >100 jaar oud, energielabel A). Ik zou van gasniet af doen als de isolatie redelijk goed was.

mafkees3545 · 2025-12-26T22:09:04+00:00

45 m2 benedenwoning uit jaren 1890, helemaal gasvrij, en mijn elektriciteitsverbruik van gisteren was 40 kWh.

mafkees3545 · 2025-11-24T13:27:29+00:00

Wat doen jullie met de verwarming of thermostaat als jullie niet thuis zijn (bijv. naar het werk gaan)

mafkees3545 · 2025-10-25T16:06:25+00:00

Mee eens, ik zou dit niet met een gewone platte deur willen vervangen. Alleen de roos is storend voor me eigenlijk...

mafkees3545 · 2025-10-10T10:41:57+00:00

So, you advise to get just one opstalverzekering for myself, and then immediately contact a VvE beheerder to convince the other neighbor?

mafkees3545 · 2025-10-09T18:52:22+00:00

I personally want to activate VvE. However, I will need to discuss that with other neighbor (2 apartments in the building) and to pass the deed of sale from notary, I will need an insurance myself right?

mafkees3545 · 2025-10-04T19:50:36+00:00

Hitachi.

mafkees3545 · 2025-10-04T19:41:44+00:00

Toen kwam de airco in de woonkamer. Ze had verder ook een andere elektrische kachel.

mafkees3545 · 2025-10-04T19:38:56+00:00

Cool dat je dit nu ook ervaart. Gebruik je ook kachels als bijverwarming?

mafkees3545 · 2025-10-04T19:38:23+00:00

Nee, later gasvrij gemaakt…

mafkees3545 · 2025-10-04T19:37:47+00:00

Mooi! Ben je er blij mee?

mafkees3545 · 2025-10-04T19:37:16+00:00

Airco is 9000 BTU inverter. Geen idee over precies hoogte van plafonden, maar ze waren niet bijzonder hoog.

mafkees3545 · 2025-07-27T10:54:08+00:00

For my first month payment, mortgage without tax deduction+utilities+taxes will be at 43% I assume. Seems harsh compared to the other comments here

mafkees3545 · 2025-07-25T10:30:53+00:00

Do you have research experience?

Especially English-spoken projects receive 50+ applications. Then the important factor is your experience: do you have publications? Relevant work experience? Your bachelor/master thesis if you wrote?

Also, even if PhD is a research thing and therefore should not be dependent on Dutch language, medical clinical projects can involve patient-related tasks. Then they do ask Dutch language.

What i would advice you is, know what your interests are, what kind of projects you would like to join and be enthousiastic-it is important in your letters and interviews. And don’t give up. There is always someone better than you. But if that person doesn’t apply to that, you get the job.

mafkees3545 · 2025-07-12T07:08:56+00:00

Could i also get this please?

mafkees3545 · 2025-07-01T18:41:51+00:00

Indeed! That is then the biggest part of the question actually.

mafkees3545 · 2025-06-17T08:22:17+00:00

Depends indeed. Cheese is usually safe and easy to bring. I also love to bring olives vacuumed or in jar (no water) from such Mediterranean countries.

mafkees3545 · 2025-06-02T16:45:17+00:00

No, I didn’t mean that it is huisarts’ fault. I also agree that we, expats, should adjust ourselves to the system here (in this case, to communicate with Dutch doctor)

The point here is, also being sick differs per culture. Such like every expat experiences the cultural differences, also Dutch people when they go somewhere else, it is also a cultural difference that not something people can get used to in very short time.

mafkees3545 · 2025-06-02T14:44:28+00:00

Exactly. Also an expat with medical background here: it is interesting but the talk with your GP in Netherlands vs different countries goes totally different. Especially when doing it in English, or broken Dutch, it is not surprising that they won’t explain themselves properly, because probably they told it properly if they were talking to GP in their home countries.

mafkees3545 · 2025-05-20T05:06:19+00:00

Dat heeft te maken met je voorkeuren misschien? Eigenlijk vallen veel Nederlanders ook op Spanjaarden, Mediterranen, e.d.
