Utrecht, Utrecht, Nederland Universiteit Utrecht Voltijd

We are looking for a PhD researcher to join our team at Universiteit Utrecht to work on a PhD project that aims to identify the developmental processes that underlie men's underrepresentation in care roles.

The PhD project will focus on the critical self-concept formation period of middle childhood (ages 6-8) within the family and school setting as major agents in the socialisation of gender roles. We will use a mixed-methods three-wave longitudinal design to capture developments in gender beliefs and career aspirations.

The successful candidate will have a (Research) Master's degree in pedagogical sciences, developmental psychology, social psychology or a related field, and experience with quantitative research methods and statistical analysis of longitudinal data. They will also have good social skills, be effective and efficient, and able to think conceptually.

We offer a position (0.8-1.0 FTE) for one year, with an extension to four years fulltime, or five years, if you choose to work parttime (0.8 FTE). The gross salary will be between €2.770,- and €3.539,- in the case of full-time employment. We also offer 8% holiday pay and 8.3% year-end bonus, and a pension scheme, partially paid parental leave and flexible terms of employment.

The Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences is one of the leading faculties in Europe providing research and academic teaching in cultural anthropology, educational sciences, interdisciplinary social science, pedagogical sciences, psychology, and sociology. We are looking for someone who is passionate about gender inequality and socialisation, and who is able to work independently and as part of a team.
