About the Position

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD researcher to join our team at VU Amsterdam, focusing on attachment development and computational social science. As a PhD researcher, you will contribute to the development of novel techniques for automated, long-term measurement of attachment and caregiver-child interaction embedded in the home.

Our team is committed to creating an inclusive community, recognizing that diversity in all its complexity is invaluable for the quality of our teaching, research, and service. We strive for equal opportunities for all and believe that diversity is an asset.

About the Project

The project aims to employ novel techniques for automated, long-term measurement of attachment and caregiver-child interaction embedded in the home. You will work with a team of researchers versed in attachment research, computational social science, early life social interaction, and neuroscience. Your primary responsibility will be to develop a computational, agent-based model that interactively illuminates attachment development and explains variations in attachment relationships.

As a PhD researcher, you will have the opportunity to work with wearables and equipment placed in the homes and the lab, and participate in workshops and work visits in London, Cambridge, Glasgow, and Amsterdam. You will also have the chance to collaborate with the Generations2-cohort study team and recruit a sample of infants and caregivers in and around Amsterdam.

About the Team

Our team is a diverse and dynamic group of researchers, educators, and professionals who share a passion for advancing knowledge and improving lives. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment that values diversity, equity, and inclusion. As a PhD researcher, you will be part of a collaborative team that values open communication, mutual respect, and a willingness to learn from each other.

What We Offer

We offer a challenging position in a socially engaged organization, with a salary of € 2.,00 (PhD) and maximum € 3.,00 (PhD) gross per month in the fourth year, for a full-time employment. We also offer attractive fringe benefits and arrangements, including a full-time 38-hour working week, 8% holiday allowance, and 8.3% end-of-year bonus.

We are committed to creating an inclusive community and strive for equal opportunities for all. We believe that diversity in all its complexity is invaluable for the quality of our teaching, research, and service. We are always looking for talent with diverse backgrounds and experiences.
