PhD Researcher in Expectations and Performance Pressure
2 weken geleden
We are seeking a highly motivated PhD researcher to join our team at the Department of Developmental Psychology at Utrecht University. The successful candidate will be responsible for conducting research on the impact of high expectations on children's mental health and performance pressure in school.
The PhD project focuses on the role of parental, teacher, and peer expectations in shaping children's school adjustment and mental health outcomes. We aim to examine when high expectations promote children's educational success and when they become (too) demanding and create unhealthy levels of performance pressure and mental health problems.
The project has a quantitative longitudinal design, following children for two school years (grades 5 and 6), with two survey measurements and intensive longitudinal data collection using short daily questionnaires. The researcher will be responsible for selecting, adapting, and designing measurement instruments, collecting data, analyzing data using advanced statistical techniques, and writing international scientific publications and a dissertation.
The ideal candidate will have a Master's degree in Psychology, Educational Sciences, Pedagogical Sciences, or a related field, an excellent command of the Dutch language, and experience with quantitative research and advanced statistical methods. Strong social, organizational, and self-regulatory skills, as well as good communication skills in Dutch and English, are also essential.
We offer a job for one year, with an extension to a total of five years upon successful assessment, a working week of 28 to 32 hours, and a gross monthly salary between €2,872 and €3,670 in the case of full-time employment. In addition to the terms of employment laid down in the CAO NU, Utrecht University has a number of schemes and facilities for employees, including professional development opportunities, leave schemes, and access to additional employee benefits.
About the DepartmentThe Department of Developmental Psychology at Utrecht University is a leading research department in the field of developmental psychology. Our research focuses on the development of children and adolescents, with a particular emphasis on the role of expectations and performance pressure in shaping their mental health and educational outcomes.
We are a dynamic and collaborative team, committed to excellence in research and teaching. Our department is located at Utrecht Science Park, near the historical city centre of Utrecht, and we offer a stimulating and supportive work environment.
How to ApplyTo apply, please send your curriculum vitae, including a motivation letter, your Master's thesis, and academic transcripts, via the 'apply now' button. The first round of interviews will take place on 8 November, and a second round may follow in which an assessment may be part of the procedure. Our preferred start date is 6 January 2025 (or by mutual agreement).
