This 2-year postdoc project, funded by an NWO Vidi grant awarded to Dr. Patty Leijten, will be conducted in the Research Institute of Child Development and Education at the University of Amsterdam. The aim of the research will be to better understand how parents can alter the development of children’s mental health problems, and to inform the development of precision therapy.
The Postdoc will be involved in (1) intensive longitudinal research (e.g., ecological momentary assessment studies) to understand transactional parent-child interaction patterns, and (2) field experimental research (e.g., factorial experiments) to identify optimal combinations of therapy elements. The Postdoc will receive strong mentorship in further developing their own, independent program of research and grant development. The Postdoc will contribute to the learning of PhD candidates in the research team. Possibilities of a teaching appointment for an additional 0.2 FTE can be discussed.
