Your Job

As part of the Gravitation project Adapt, we are seeking a postdoctoral researcher to conduct and facilitate research on social coordination and trust capabilities.

Crisis responses rely on people, groups, and societal institutions coordinating their actions to promote collective interests. The work package you will coordinate examines what people, groups, and societal institutions can do to respond in adaptive ways to increase social coordination capabilities.

You will have a pivotal role in the work package, conducting and coordinating research on meaningful social and societal relations that provide people with a sense of direction during crises. This includes issues of social cohesion and how people form and restore trust judgments.

  • You will coordinate and conduct research within the period of appointment.
  • You will publish and supervise peer-reviewed journal articles and co-edit a volume.
  • You will help with the organisation of events, workshops, and conferences.
  • You will participate in project meetings and collaborate closely with the research team.
  • You will assist with knowledge dissemination and other Adapt activities.
  • You will present research results at national and international workshops and conferences.
Your Qualities
  • You have completed a PhD in social psychology or a relevant discipline.
  • You have a truly interdisciplinary mentality and experience working with other disciplines.
  • You have expertise in crises related to radicalisation, climate change, and/or pandemics.
  • You have expertise in conducting experimental research, survey research, interviews, and other methods relevant for Adapt.
  • You are fluent in both Dutch and English.
  • You can work independently and write academic publications.
  • You have team spirit and experience working with others.
  • You have strong interpersonal, analytical, and organisational skills.
