For this position we are looking for a full professor to strengthen the developmental psychopathology/child and adolescent clinical psychology side of our research and teaching. We are looking for a colleague who will initiate new research lines in developmental psychology, can make clear connections with our existing lines of research and teaching, and can strengthen and complement our current successful research projects and courses. In our research and teaching, the normative developmental and developmental psychopathology perspectives are intertwined. Most of our research covers the age range from early childhood to young adulthood. Our teaching is organised from a life-span developmental perspective. 
You will conduct rigorous research (theory-informed to be applied to practice), share your findings through presentations and publications, and write grant applications in the spirit of team science with others within the Social Development programme. You will develop your own research lines while developing connections with colleagues from the programme. Your proficiency will strengthen and complement the expertise of the current researchers in the social development programme. Collaborations with researchers from other programmes in the Behavioural Science Institute (BSI) are also valued, as our developmental research has various connections to the work of researchers from other BSI programmes. The developmental perspective also has clear connections with the overarching BSI themes.

One of our priorities for the future is to continue our ongoing longitudinal studies, and we therefore hope that you will make ample use of the opportunities for internal collaboration on these projects. More broadly, you will contribute to the consolidation of the quantity and quality of our scientific output and the international visibility of our researchers, and you will be a mentor to junior staff and PhD candidates. As our fundamental research has clear links with practice (child care, schools, interventions), there is also room for translational research.

You will teach courses in developmental psychology and/or developmental psychopathology, and you will contribute to teaching planning and to the Task Force of the Master's programme in Health Care Psychology. Additionally, you will provide important input in the conceptualisation of our contributions to clinical teaching and the hiring of relevant instructors.

Finally, as a full professor you will contribute to management tasks related to research, teaching, and personnel within our programme and to management tasks associated with the programme for the benefit of the research and teaching institutes of which we are part (BSI and Psychology) and the Faculty of Social Sciences. You will contribute to the professional development of our faculty and PhD candidates. You will participate in management tasks such as annual progress evaluations, committee memberships, programme assessments, search committees, and recruitment activities.

We are seeking a full professor who will strengthen the developmental psychopathology/child and adolescent clinical psychology side of our research and teaching. We are looking for you if you have:

• A PhD degree in developmental psychology or a related field.
• An outstanding track record in developmental psychology (or a closely related field), as evidenced by international recognition, editorial positions, and grants/fellowships obtained.
• High-quality publications in academic journals.
• Affinity for longitudinal research in developmental science.
• Excellent qualifications in quantitative research methodology.
• Extensive experience with providing inspirational and high-quality teaching and coordination of courses and teaching programmes, as evidenced by a University Teaching Qualification (BKO) or Extended Teaching Qualification (UKO).
• A proven record of supervising doctoral candidates to successful completion.
• Proven competence in acquiring external research funding.
• Affinity and experience with knowledge dissemination and societal impact.
• A high valuation of open science practices and support replicable and reproducible research (including pre-registration and data sharing).
• An interdisciplinary attitude and interest in collaboration with other research groups.
• Ability and willingness to actively participate in management tasks related to the programme and for the benefit of the research and teaching institutes and the Faculty of Social Sciences.
• Management and leadership skills; the ability to motivate and actively engage staff members.
• A collaborative attitude; the ability to work well in a team on research and teaching.
• Excellent command of spoken and written Dutch (or the willingness to learn Dutch).
• Excellent command of spoken and written English, preferable at Cambridge Proficiency level C1.
• An academic philosophy and vision that matches the mission statement of Radboud University.

Ideally you are currently a full professor, but senior associate professors (with at least five years of experience in management and organisational tasks) who are ready to take the next step in their careers are also encouraged to apply.

Fixed-term contract: permanent contract.

• Employment: 32 - 40 hours per week.
• A maximum gross monthly salary of € 8.371 based on a 38-hour working week (salary scale 16).
• The exact salary depends on the candidate's qualifications and amount of relevant professional experience.
• In addition to the salary: an 8% holiday allowance and an 8.3% end-of-year bonus.
• Duration of the contract: permanent contract.
• The intended start date is in consultation.
• You will be able to make use of our Dual Career Service: our Dual Career Officer will assist with family-related support, such as child care, and help your partner prepare for the local labour market and with finding an occupation.
• Are you interested in our excellent employment conditions?

Faculteit der Sociale Wetenschappen

We are searching for a full professor of Developmental Psychology in the Behavioural Science Institute (BSI) and the School of Psychology of the Faculty of Social Sciences at Radboud University. You will contribute to the Social Development research programme (led by: Toon Cillessen), the Bachelor's degree programme in Psychology (domain: Development and Mental Health), the Master's degree programme in Health Care Psychology, and the Research Master's programme in Behavioural Science. You will also actively participate in management tasks related to the programme and for the benefit of the institutes. The Developmental Psychology unit currently includes 8 full-time and 16 part-time faculty with 5,0 FTEs for research (tenured 3,5 FTEs, non-tenured 1,5 FTEs, 8 PhD candidates) and 7,0 FTEs for teaching (tenured 4,0 FTEs, non-tenured 3,0 FTEs).

The School of Psychology offers excellent degree programmes for approximately 1,800 students: the Bachelor's programme in Psychology is a lively international programme with excellent teachers and a yearly admission of approximately 450 students. The Master's programme in Psychology has three specialisations that prepare students for an academic or professional career: Health Care Psychology; Work, Organisation and Health; and Behaviour Change. The School of Psychology offers Research Master's programmes in Behavioural Science (in association with BSI) and Cognitive Neuroscience (in association with the Donders Institute).

The Behavioural Science Institute is a multidisciplinary institute for behavioural research. BSI researchers collaborate across the boundaries of psychology, educational science, and communication science. BSI has seven research programmes covering three major themes: 1) development and learning, 2) psychopathology, health and well-being, and 3) social processes and communication. BSI scientists conduct both fundamental and applied research. BSI has state-of-the-art research facilities for observational studies, experiments, eye-tracking studies, EEG and other physiological measures, and behavioural measurements in real and 3D virtual environments.

The Social Development programme involves fundamental and applied research on social development and related processes from childhood to young adulthood. The programme has a long tradition of longitudinal research. We aim to contribute new knowledge to developmental science and promote positive development through innovative research projects, high-impact publications, dissertations, and the dissemination of findings to a broad audience. It is our ambition that this knowledge will be relevant to positive developments in clinical and educational settings. Working with both typical and atypical populations, we study caregiver-child interaction in early and middle childhood; peer relationships in middle childhood and adolescence; how social facets of development interact with cognitive/motivational and neural ones; future discounting; and the evolution of developmental mechanisms. We combine perspectives and methods ranging from longitudinal and observational designs to more specialised methods from psychobiology, neuroscience, and social network analysis. These include sequential analysis, psychophysiology and hormonal assessments, neuropsychological paradigms, fMRI, sociometric methods, dynamic social network modelling, and longitudinal data analysis.
