Phd On The Role of Precarious Employment in

7 dagen geleden

Maastricht, Limburg, Nederland Maastricht University Voltijd
Meta-analytical studies indicate that social class indicators correlate with healthy behaviours such as eating healthy or regularly exercising.

One reason for such associations may be that living in socio-economically resourceful conditions facilitates developing and adhering to beneficial habits.

On the contrary, precarious employment as a condition encompassing aspects indicating lower socio economic resources (e.g., job insecurity, low income, limited workplace rights) may hinder developing and maintaining beneficial habits and thus drives social inequality.


Job description

We offer a 4-year PhD position to study how precarious employment conditions may support or hinder the development of adaptive habits.

The project combines qualitative, experience-sampling and longitudinal studies and aims at setting the stage for a more contextualized understanding of habit development at the intercept of work and private life.

As part of the PhD trajectory, you will develop hypotheses, collect and analyze data, present findings at international conferences, and write articles to be published in peer-reviewed scientific journals that will be part of the PhD thesis.

The position also entails a 10% teaching task (being a tutor in the Work and Organizational Psychology Master programme, supervision of bachelor and master theses) and the opportunity to obtain the university teaching qualification (Basis Kwalificatie Onderwijs, BKO).

You will be supervised by Dr. Wilken Wehrt, Dr. Bram Fleuren and Prof.

Ute Hülsheger and embedded in an enthusiastic team of PhD students, Assistant and Associate Professors that will support you in developing the necessary research and teaching skills.


Requirements:

  • Master's degree in Work, Social and Organizational Psychology or adjacent fields; Interest and/or knowledge of sociology or related topics is a plus;
  • Quantitative research and data analytic skills; experience with and/or affinity to work with data analysis software such as SPSS, R, Matlab, Mplus; Experience in conducting longitudinal or experience sampling studies and/or qualitative designs is a plus;
  • Good scientific writing skills;
  • Good selfmanagement skills and high levels of proactivity and conscientiousness; experience with approaching people and conducting interviews is a plus;
