Though you may apply to multiple roles, please note that each application will be evaluated based on the specific criteria established for that particular role. If you have already applied for this position during the current recruitment season and were not selected, you may reapply when the next recruitment season begins in August 2027. We encourage you to focus on enhancing your skillset before reapplying.
Please note that, due to current regulations with the Immigratie en Naturalisatiedienst (IND), IMC is unable to obtain immigration sponsorship for candidates who currently have citizenship from Russia, Belarus or Iran, and attend university in one of the aforementioned countries.
