- Academic interest in and thorough knowledge of platform studies (in education), and the processes of platformisation, infrastructuralisation, and datafication;
- Excellent command of English (an additional command of Dutch is preferred).
- A job for 18 months, with the possibility of extension for the remaining period of 30 months (4 years in total);
- A working week of 38 hours and a gross monthly salary between €2,872 and €3,670 in the case of full-time employment (salary scale P under the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities (CAO NU));
- 8% holiday pay and 8.3% year-end bonus;
- A pension scheme, partially paid parental leave, and flexible terms of employment based on the CAO NU.
We strive to create a safe and inclusive environment in which everyone can flourish and contribute. We value staff with diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and identities, including cultural, religious, or ethnic background, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or age.
To apply, please send your curriculum vitae, a writing sample (such as a research project report or Master's thesis), and a motivation letter, providing one paragraph on the proposed research subject. Selected candidates will be asked to develop a research proposal (1500 – 2000 words).
