The postdoc will further provide editorial assistance in the publication of a book in the Springer Social Indicators Series, focused on quality of life in youth and young people from a social justice perspective.You will be the first point of contact for these organizational activities and will work closely with the chair holder, the academic director of the strategic theme, and other key stakeholders to ensure the successful implementation of the chair objectives. Key organisational responsibilities include:
facilitating international collaboration, for example by organising academic events; developing and implementing certification programmes in Youth Development; ensuring the impact of research on policy and practice, for example in dialogue with stakeholders and policy makers. Wat breng je mee?You will be expected to demonstrate strong organisational skills, including project management and event coordination, the ability to work collaboratively in an international academic environment, and a commitment to advancing research and practice in the field of child and youth well-being and QoL.
