Within Wageningen University & Research, nine specialised research institutes from the Wageningen Research Foundation and Wageningen University have joined forces to help answer the most important questions in the domain of healthy food and living environment.
With approximately 30 locations, 6.500 employees, and 12.000 students, it is one of the leading organisations in its domain worldwide. An integrated approach to problems and the cooperation between various disciplines are at the heart of the unique approach of Wageningen. We have been named Best Employer in Education category 2019-2020.
The position is embedded in the
Consumption and Healthy Lifestyles chair group in the Department of Social Sciences. Many of today's major issues in health and sustainability are inevitably associated with human conduct. To address these societal challenges, changes in consumption patterns and lifestyles are crucial. In order to develop effective solutions, a fundamental understanding of the processes driving consumption patterns and lifestyles is needed.
The consumption and healthy lifestyles group is a young and ambitious chair group interested in studying the origins of healthy and sustainable consumption and lifestyle practices. These behavioral insights are used to design, evaluate and implement strategies to enable healthy and sustainable consumption. The chair group studies consumption and lifestyles of individuals and groups from an interdisciplinary perspective, encompassing a.o. sociology, psychology, and (social and behavioral) epidemiology. We adopt a multi-method research approach with quantitative and qualitative research methods, ranging from experimental studies to participatory research.
