Amsterdam, Noord-Holland, Nederland Universiteit van Amsterdam Voltijd

Project Overview

The Universiteit van Amsterdam is seeking a highly motivated PhD researcher to join our team in the Social Psychology Programme Group.

  • Drafting articles for publication in peer-reviewed journals;
  • Actively participating in the Social Psychology Programme Group, your project group, and the wider scientific community through collaborations, workshops, and presentations;
  • 5% of your time will be spent teaching and/or supervising Bachelor and Master theses.

Requirements

  • Master's degree in psychology or closely related field by the time of appointment;
  • Experience with cross-national studies, multi-level modelling, big data, and experience sampling methods is a plus;
  • Excellent writing and presentation skills in English;
  • Ability to work collaboratively and independently;
  • Highly motivated to research gender, culture, and emotions.
