We are looking for you as our new faculty member to expand our academic staff in the Department of Interdisciplinary Social Science (ISW) of the faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences. The department’s research and teaching activities are organized in three programs: ‘Social Policy and Public Health’, ‘Youth in Changing Cultural Contexts’ and ‘Migration, Cultural Diversity, and Ethnic Relations’.
As assistant professor you contribute to the research and teaching of the Social Policy and Public Health programme. This programme is concerned with three broad domains: work, care and participation; health behaviors, outcomes and services; and sustainability behaviours and transitions. Across these domains, the programme addresses issues of social determinants and inequity, design and impact of social policies and interventions, global health and wellbeing, and ethics, justice and engagement in research and social policy. Our research encompasses and combines quantitative survey research, including longitudinal analyses and international comparisons, qualitative research, including in-depth interviews and focus group discussion, and experimental studies in the lab and the field.
The position consists of a common combination of teaching activities (60%) and research activities (40%). In case you wish to focus your career more on teaching, an appointment comprised of 70% teaching and 30% research is also possible.
If you have expertise in advanced qualitative, quantitative or mixed methods research and data analysis methods, you would be a great addition to our team. Regarding qualitative research we are especially interested in candidates familiar with a range of qualitative approaches and the ability to advice on their suitability, and knowledge of epistemological stances and the role of theory, positionality and reflexivity in qualitative research. With respect to quantitative research we are especially looking for expertise in (complex) longitudinal data analysis, advanced multi-level analysis or machine learning methods of text analysis. People with other methodological expertise are also very much invited to respond.
