Governmental Research Institute
The first offer is a place as a researcher in a Governmental Research Institute close to the city-centre, 45 minutes from your home. The head of the research department has sent you an offer letter in which he promises a starting salary of 1900€ a month with standard 37.5 weekly working hours and a permanent place in their research team. In the letter he also mentioned several training programs and courses related to the different research areas which are offered to the personnel. The job would be technically challenging, focused and and gives opportunities for further studying. As there is no continuing need for domestic travelling the Research Institute does not provide their employees with company-owned cars. However, there are likely to be conferences all over Europe where you are assumed to attend every now and then (20 travelling days a year).
