**_ Impact_**_: Enabling decision-making geared to long-term police strategies and policies._

Job description

You will conduct unique research into the impact of multiple phenomena on police operations, capacity, and competencies. Based on real-world use cases, you will look into the impact of demographic and societal developments. And you will research and model those developments, how they interact, and add spatial dimensions in system dynamics models. In this 5-year project, you will spend 20% of your time at the Police. Working closely and interacting with police-experts, you will benefit from their experience, expertise, in-depth insights and available data and models. To stimulate adoption of your models, you will develop simulation models under uncertainty geared to knowledge development and retention in the complex, multidisciplinary police organisation. You will, of course, also be writing scientific articles and speaking at leading conferences.

Your project is part of the Model-Driven Decisions (MoDD) Lab, a Police - TU Delft initiative. At the MoDD Lab, you will join an interdisciplinary community of four fellow PhD students. Together, you will share knowledge to tackle model-based decision-making from different perspectives. At TU Delft, your home base will be the Policy Analysis section of the Multi-Actor Systems department. You will join our driven, internationally diverse team of some 60 academic staff, PhD students and postdocs. Working in fields ranging from health and security to infrastructure and climate, we share a drive to improve policy-making. We foster a relaxed, collegial and collaborative atmosphere. And we will give you all the support you need to grow your career as a researcher.

Learn more about your project at the Model-Driven Decisions Lab.

**Requirements**:

- You hold an MSc in public policy or complex systems engineering & management, with demonstrable knowledge and experience of quantitative simulation techniques.
- You have advanced System Dynamics skills, and incorporate systems thinking.
- You are familiar with decision-making under deep uncertainty, or are keen to learn.
- You harness your communication skills to work with different scientific and non-scientific stakeholders in different work cultures.
- You have a good command of written and spoken English, as you will be working in an international environment. Since you will be working with the Police, it is an advantage if you also have a good command of the Dutch language.

Conditions of employment

Salary and benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities, increasing from € 2770 per month in the first year to € 3539 in the fourth year. In the 5th year, you will receive a temporary monthly allowance based on the gross difference between salary scale P, step 3 and salary scale 10, step 3.

The TU Delft offers a customisable compensation package, discounts on health insurance, and a monthly work costs contribution. Flexible work schedules can be arranged.

For international applicants, TU Delft has the Coming to Delft Service. This service provides information for new international employees to help you prepare the relocation and to settle in the Netherlands. The Coming to Delft Service offers a Dual Career Programme for partners and they organise events to expand your (social) network.
