As an assistant professor you will teach and conduct research in a 50%-50% division. Under the topic “social inequality and diversity” we want to invest in research on the increasingly complex and often invisible mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion. This concerns the interaction between characteristics and factors at different levels, such as the individual, family, social networks, government policy, the functioning of institutions, urban versus rural areas, accessibility of facilities, ideas, and discourses on migration, and gender distribution. To understand this interaction, both interdisciplinary collaboration and a variety of research methods are needed: quantitative (linking macro data, suhch as SCP and SCB data, to meso- and microdata) and qualitative (discourse analyses, ethnographic research). Such broad research offers opportunities for more targeted interventions (including preventive ones), at the individual and group levels as well as the social policy level. The main aim here is to analyse and address the negative consequences of inequality and exclusion, the increasing segregation of the highly educated from the less educated, and groups with an immigration history from those without one.
In addition to detecting barriers, competences can be developed with which people can strengthen their resilience. This topic connects with the research programmes of the research institutes Behavioural Science Institute and Radboud Social Cultural Research within the Faculty of Social Sciences.
You will teach on one of our teaching programmes: psychology; pedagogical sciences and education; sociology; or cultural anthropology & development sociology. You will also support students in reflecting on their academic and professional development.
Fixed-term contract: It concerns a temporary employment for contract for 1.5 years with the possibility of a permanent contract after positive evaluation.
The Faculty of Social Sciences (FSS) is one of Radboud University's seven faculties. It is a large and ambitious faculty with approximately 5,400 students and more than 800 staff members. In the faculty, education and research are valued equally and, are above all, intertwined.
