It's possible, but certainly not easy. Faculties are permanent positions hired by the university. Due to lacking of long-term fundings (often from government), there are not many open positions of this kind. (You can have a look at 'acadamic transfer', you will see that most open positions these days are PhDs or postdocs.)
A direct consequence of less available positions is that you have to compete with many other candidates, not only foreigners who want to stay here, but also lots of locals. As I know, many Dutch PhDs like to go abroad for one or two terms of postdoc, but after that they want to come back and settle down in their own country. |
