**A PhD student in Social Network Analysis and Behavioral Choices Research**

Position in brief
School: Tilburg School of Social and Behavioral Sciences
Department: Methodology and Statistics
Location: Tilburg
Monthly full-time gross salary: €2.770 (first year) - €3.539 (fourth year)
Duration of employment contract: 4 years (12 + 36 months)

Weekly hours: 40 hours

**Project description**
This PhD project aims to identify key factors influencing individuals' preferences for their living neighborhoods, taking into account the critical role of social networks. Traditional approaches often focus solely on individual characteristics and preferences, overlooking the significant impact that social connections can have on such decisions. This research seeks to address this gap by exploring how individuals' social positions within their interpersonal networks affect their susceptibility to social influence and subsequent living-arrangement decisions. Utilizing advanced network analysis techniques to assess the structures and dynamics of social networks, combined with behavioral choice models, this study aims to create an integrated modeling framework. This approach will disentangle the various triggers affecting decision-making processes. Data collection will include individual demographics, neighborhood preferences, and detailed information about interpersonal networks. The insights gained from this research will have substantial implications for urban planning, community development, and social policy, particularly in the context of housing scarcity.

**Background**
The research will be led by Dr. Li Zeng and Dr. Francisco Bahamonde-Birke with expertise in network analysis and machine learning, and behavioral decision-making and choice modeling, respectively. Given the interdisciplinary nature of the project, regular collaborative team meetings will ensure consistency and integration across the research lines. This project addresses the current limitations in understanding neighborhood choice by considering the influence of social networks, which has been largely neglected in previous studies. By combining network analysis and behavioral choice modeling, the study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the factors shaping neighborhood preferences. This research is particularly relevant in the context of the Netherlands' housing scarcity, where accurate insights can inform more effective and unbiased policy-making. The expected outcomes will contribute to a deeper understanding of how social influences shape individual preferences, providing valuable guidance for urban planning and social policy.
