Are you passionate about doing research on romantic relationship wellbeing, and excited about studying the role of a mindfulness-based intervention in this domain? Are you creative and well-organised, a good project manager, and enthusiastic to conduct research using innovative methodologies? Then we are looking for you
We are starting an NWO financed project to study the effects of a mindfulness-based intervention among distressed romantic couples. Many claims have been made about the potential of mindfulness to improve relationship wellbeing, but such claims have not been tested systematically. The current study will be the first large-scale study to do so, using rigorous methods and being well-grounded in scientific theories of mindfulness and relationships. In addition to self-report measures, the project will make use of behavioural observation, implicit relationship evaluation measures, and physiological measurements. A thrilling aspect of the project is that the study will be designed in collaboration with a prominent mindfulness skeptic as an ‘adversarial collaborator’.
As part of the BSI Graduate School PhD programme, you will complete several courses related to the basic professional skills of scientific researchers such as scientific integrity and data management. We will also encourage you to attend and present your work at relevant workshops and conferences. You will be given opportunities to develop your teaching skills and/or to make a start with or work on your teaching portfolio for the University Teaching Qualification (UTQ).
Profile
You should hold a Master's or Research Master's degree in Psychology, Behavioural Science or a related discipline.
You have good research, methodological and statistical skills.
You have affinity with the science of romantic relationships and affinity with mindfulness research.
You have experience with quantitative research (observational or experimental research methods; experience with physiological methods is a plus but not a requirement).
You are familiar with open science practices that increase transparency in social science (e.g. pre-registration, data sharing, and OA publication) or are willing to adopt this approach.
You have good organisational skills.
You have the social skills and interests required to learn and think across disciplines.
You are a team player and enjoy collaboration but also are able to work independently.
You have good written and spoken English language skills required for scientific publishing. As contact with participants is part of your project, being able to speak Dutch is a requirement (or being able to learn Dutch quickly).

Behavioural Science Institute
The Behavioural Science Institute (BSI) is an interdisciplinary research institute where fundamental, applied and translational research takes place, often with the aim of understanding important societal issues and contributing to their solutions. BSI is one of the three research institutes in the Faculty of Social Sciences at Radboud University. Our researchers collaborate across the boundaries of psychology, communication science, and pedagogical and educational science. Our mission for the coming years is to join forces in interdisciplinary research on the theme ’Empowering the Young’. We study the challenges that young people face in our current society and contribute to their empowerment.
BSI performs high-quality research with scientific and societal impact.The institute provides excellent research facilities and has strong collaborations with non-academic partners. Moreover, BSI is known for its successful graduate school and strong dedication to open science and team science. We stand for a warm, inclusive and cooperative research environment in which our staff are well-supported in a work culture that promotes collaboration and respect.
Behaviour Change and Wellbeing
You will become a member of the Behaviour Change and Wellbeing research programme of BSI. This programme examines basic regulation processes that underlie behaviour change and wellbeing. To understand individual and social behaviour, we study a variety of psychological processes, including self-control, implicit and explicit evaluations, goal pursuit, agency, mindful attention, psychological defence mechanisms, and the role of sensory input. Our research is generally grounded in social-cognitive psychological theory. Our group is characterised by an open, collaborative, informal and enthusiastic atmosphere, with weekly research meetings of lab groups and colloquia for mutual inspiration and exchange of research ideas.
The project is in collaboration with the Radboudumc Center of Expertise for Mindfulness, which is part of the Department of Psychiatry. The centre provides mindfulness and compassion
