Postdoctoral Researcher in ERC Starting Grant Project on Multiple Jobholders
4 weken geleden
AIAS-HSI/ University of Amsterdam invites applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher in the ERC Starting Grant project “Moonlighting: Understanding the quality and consequences of working multiple jobs [MOONLIGHT]” (0.8-1.0 fte for 3 years).
The Postdoc will be working on a subproject within the ERC Starting Grant research project “Moonlighting: Understanding the quality and consequences of working multiple jobs [MOONLIGHT]”, funded by the European Research Council (ERC) for the period 2024-2029, and directed by Dr. Wieteke Conen (Senior Researcher at AIAS-HSI/ University of Amsterdam).
MOONLIGHT project
The project studies the quality of work and wellbeing of contemporary multiple jobholders. Working in the new economy is increasingly of a flexible and fragmented nature. Multiple jobholders [MJHs], or so-called moonlighters, can be considered emblematic of how work fragmentation and combinations affect the quality of work and total worker wellbeing. MOONLIGHT will research the quality of work in first, second and other jobs and how this translates into total worker wellbeing. MOONLIGHT will study the quality and wellbeing of MJHs through comparative research in seven advanced economies: Denmark, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, the United Kingdom and the United States - countries with increasing levels of MJHs, but different welfare state traditions, regulations and norms. The research will rely on new comparative cross-national and dynamic data. A unique and crucial feature of the programme’s empirical approach is the development of an app for dynamic quality and wellbeing assessment.
Subproject: Multiple jobholders in context
Within the project, we have an exciting vacancy for a postdoctoral researcher. This position offers a unique opportunity to delve into the meso- and macro-level factors shaping MJH behaviour and outcomes. For instance, we aim to investigate how organizational characteristics (meso-level) influence workers' decisions to engage in multiple jobs, considering both constraint and opportunity hypotheses. At the macro level, our inquiry extends to national-level regulations and work ethics, examining how these factors influence individuals' choices to pursue multiple jobs (instead of – for instance - relying on social assistance).
The project takes an ambitious multi-method approach, including desk research, qualitative research, comparative cross-national survey research and the development of an app for dynamic prevalence and quality assessment. The postdoctoral researcher assists the principal investigator in organising the data collection and will be particularly involved in organising the app research. The specific mix of (other) aspects the candidate will be involved in will be determined by mutual agreement, depending on expertise and openness to learning.
