The postdoctoral researcher will also provide assistance on other research projects, conducted in the research group Interdisciplinary Social Science: Public Health, with a focus on sustainability behaviour.

We are looking for a candidate:
- who has completed a PhD in a behavioural or social science, with expertise in health behaviour and an affinity for qualitative research;
- who is familiar with the theory and practice of intervention mapping;
- who has experience conducting interdisciplinary research and working in a transdisciplinary team;
- with strong project management skills.
Offer
