Partnerships - University Medical Center Groningen and Radboud University Nijmegen

This vacancy falls under the project ‘Participatory Theatre as a Pedagogy to Promote Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in Teacher and Medical Education‘, which is funded through an Open Competition Large grant from the Dutch Science Foundation (NWO). This project is carried out in a consortium with the University Medical Center Groningen.

This PhD position focuses on Teacher Education, and is based at ICLON Graduate School of Teaching, Leiden University, with co-supervision from the Radboud Teachers Academy, Radboud University Nijmegen.

Minoritized students—including first-generation citizens, racialized minorities, women, LGBTQ+ community members, and those from low-income backgrounds—are still underrepresented in Dutch universities and hospitals, and in front of Dutch classrooms. These groups face barriers such as prejudice, resource scarcity, and microaggressions, which discourage participation and lead to a loss of diverse perspectives in academia and schools. Our project uses innovative research to explore how diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) challenges shape minoritized students’ experiences, and how we can equip them with skills and strategies to facilitate systemic change. The project focuses on minoritized students in teacher and medical education.

- A (Research) Master in educational sciences, educational/(applied) cognitive/social psychology, pedagogy, communication sciences, and/or an Educational Master (completed or nearly completed);
- Experience with or interest in longitudinal data collection, participatory research and/or qualitative research methods;
- Empathy and ability to engage with difference and diversity issues;
- Expertise, affinity and/or experience in the area of discrimination and exclusion;
- Affinity and/or networks of acquaintance with minoritized groups within the Netherlands;
- Experience and/or affinity with theatre or similar performing arts, and with teacher education;
- Strong social, organizational, and self-regulatory competencies;
- Good communication skills (written and oral) in English, and preferably also in Dutch;
- Ambition and ability to collaborate with students/teachers/teacher educators and fellow researchers;
- Ambition to collaborate with (inter)national partners and possibly pay research visits to these partners.

**Key responsibilities**
- Managing and carrying out the research (under supervision), including:

- Literature research
- Designing the studies
- Recruiting participants
- Facilitating participants’ active involvement in the research process
- Participating in theatre workshops
- Collecting and analyzing qualitative data
- Preparing and storing data packages for sharing;
- Writing international scientific publications and a dissertation;
- Giving presentations at (inter)national scientific conferences;
- Actively contributing to debates around diversity, equity and diversity;
- Actively engaging in outreach activities and disseminating findings to educational professionals and the general public;
- Active participation in the local and (inter)national research team involved in this project, and in the ICLON research group;
- Following courses/training (i.e. in the context of Research School ICO and the local graduate school).

**What we offer**
Our goal is to work together to create a transparent and inclusive work environment in which everyone feels welcome and appreciated. Our organisation is always evolving and we need your ideas for improvement and innovation to take us further. We want to devote attention to your personal development.
