ERC Starting Grant Project Researcher

Universiteit van Amsterdam invites applications for a PhD researcher position in the ERC Starting Grant project "Moonlighting: Understanding the quality and consequences of working multiple jobs [MOONLIGHT]". The project studies the quality of work and wellbeing of contemporary multiple jobholders. Work in the new economy is increasingly of a flexible and fragmented nature. Multiple jobholders [MJHs], or so-called moonlighters, can be considered emblematic of how work fragmentation and combinations affect the quality of work and total worker wellbeing.

Project Overview

The MOONLIGHT project will research the quality of work in first, second and other jobs and how this translates into total worker wellbeing. The research will rely on new comparative cross-national and dynamic data. A full description of the project and all its subprojects can be found here.

Research Focus

The PhD researcher will focus on one of two subprojects: "Dire Straits" or "Career Pathways". The "Dire Straits" project will research precarious forms of moonlighting in seven advanced economies. The "Career Pathways" project will research transitions, career development and wellbeing of multiple jobholders in seven advanced economies.
