Job description

You will teach courses at the School of Psychology, including the Bachelor's domain 'Behaviour and Environment', the Master's programmes in 'Behaviour Change' and 'Work, Organisation and Health', and the Research Master's programme in Behavioural Science. Teaching will be in Dutch and English. You will supervise psychology students writing Bachelor's and Master's theses. Over time, you will independently improve, develop and coordinate your own courses. We approach teaching as teamwork and organise regular meetings to discuss challenges and opportunities, and to learn from each other.

You will conduct research in the Behaviour Change and Well-being (BCW) programme and/or Work, Health, and Performance (WHP) programme. The mission of both programmes is to conduct innovative research on the psychological processes underlying human behaviour in social contexts (BCW) and work and organisational contexts (WHP) respectively, and to do so in a transparent and sound manner. We encourage collaboration with researchers from other programmes offered by the Behavioural Science Institute (BSI).

For the current positions, we particularly encourage candidates with the following research and teaching profiles to apply:

  • For position A: In the area of experimental research on the social cognitive aspects of behaviour change (or a related field such as social influence); or
  • For position B: In the area of work and organisations in a digital society (preferred; or work-related health behaviour, or sustainability at work); or
  • For position C: On the cutting edge of both research programmes (e.g. in the area of motivation, health behaviour, behaviour change, or self-control) and teaching programmes ('Behaviour Change' and 'Work, Organisation and Health').


You will be expected to:

  • Contribute to the development of teaching, and to carry out and coordinate excellent and innovative teaching in Dutch and English (50%).
  • Be an inspiring, motivating and conscientious supervisor of internships as well as of BA and MA theses.
  • Perform and publish top-quality research (50%).
  • Apply for external funding by submitting research proposals.
  • Collaborate with researchers from the research programmes, other research groups at BSI, and external scholars.
  • Be an inspiring member of staff with excellent communication skills.
  • Have or develop a network of national and international partners.

The School for Psychology and Artificial Intelligence and the Behavioural Science Institute (BSI) at Radboud University are looking for three experienced Assistant Professors in Social Psychology and/or Work and Organisational Psychology (0.8 - 1.0 FTE each) to further strengthen our teaching and research.

The research of the three positions will be embedded within BSI. For Position A, we are looking for a candidate with a research profile that fits in with the research programme in Behaviour Change and Well-being (BCW). For Position B, we are looking for a candidate with a research profile that fits in with the research programme in Work, Health, and Performance (WHP).
