Groningen, Nederland Rijksuniversiteit Groningen Voltijd

This position is part of a joint project of prof. dr. Judith Daniels and dr. Ineke Wessel. Judith Daniels’s lab focuses on the phenomenon of dissociation in the context of mental disorders as well as the treatment of trauma-related disorders.

The overall aim of the current project is to elucidate (neural) processes underlying the recovery from trauma-related mental disorders. Insights from this project will inform theory and interventions aimed at preventing revictimization of persons with a history of trauma exposure.

The position includes teaching at the bachelor’s and master’s level for 15% of the allotted time.
