The Netherlands Institute for the Study of Crime and Law Enforcement (NSCR) and The Hague University of Applied Sciences (THUAS) are looking for a postdoc researcher who can further strengthen our research programme on ‘The human factor in cybercrime’. The collaboration between NSCR and THUAS offers a unique opportunity to do both fundamental and applied research.
The job
You get the opportunity to develop your own research line within our ‘human factor in cybercrime’ research programme and you will do empirical research in collaboration with other researchers. You are expected to apply for new research grants. Your research line could for instance be on cybercrime offenders, cybercriminal networks, or the victims of cybercrime and the effectiveness of interventions aimed at preventing victimisation. You publish your research in high-ranking international peer-reviewed journals and you present your work at international conferences.
The new colleague we are looking for:
The Netherlands Institute for the Study of Crime and Law Enforcement (NSCR) is a national research institute that focuses on fundamental scientific research in the field of crime and law enforcement. It is part of the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO). The NSCR is located in Amsterdam in one of the buildings of the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. The institute conducts interdisciplinary and longitudinal research at the intersection of theory, practice and policy. A group of researchers focuses on the "human factor" in cybercrime by studying offenders, victims and other stakeholders, and issues related to the legal approach and regulation of cybercrime. Examples include research into the origins and growth processes of cybercriminal networks, pathways into cybercrime, and risk factors related to victimization. Traditional theories form the basis to study cybercrimes, but these theories are also tested for their suitability in relation to cybercrime.
The ‘Cybersecurity in SMEs’ research group is part of the Center of Expertise Cyber Security (CoECS) at The Hague University of Applied Sciences.
