Junior Lecturer / PhD Candidate: Methods & Statistics in Psychology

Strategically located in Europe, Radboud University is one of the leading academic communities in the Netherlands. It is a place with a personal touch, where top-flight education and research take place on a beautiful green campus, in modern buildings with state-of-art facilities. You will be appointed at the School of Psychology and the Behavioural Science Institute (BSI), both part of the Faculty of Social Sciences.

The School of Psychology offers excellent study programmes for approximately 1,800 students. The Bachelor's programme has a yearly inflow of 500+ new students. The Master's degree in Psychology has three specialisations that prepare students for an academic or professional career: Work, Organisation and Health; Behaviour Change; and Healthcare Psychology. In addition, we have two Research Master's programmes: Behavioural Science (in collaboration with the Behavioural Science Institute) and Cognitive Neuroscience (in collaboration with the Donders Institute). We approach teaching as team science and train lecturers of the future with a strong basis in both teaching and research. This special Junior Lecturer/ PhD Candidate position is an example of this policy.

You will teach several methods and statistics courses offered in the Bachelor's degree programme in Psychology.

You will conduct research in one of the following research programmes of the Behavioural Science Institute: Social Development; Work, Health and Performance; Behaviour Change and Wellbeing; or Experimental Psychopathology and Treatment, depending on your research topic interest.

BSI  is a multidisciplinary institute for behavioural research. BSI researchers collaborate across the boundaries of psychology, educational science, and communication science. Our mission is to strengthen people through understanding the foundations of human behaviour, by creating synergy between different paradigms, and by facilitating craftsmanship, curiosity, and connections in scientific research. BSI has seven research programmes covering three main themes: 1) development and learning, 2) health and mental health, and 3) social processes and communication. We conduct fundamental as well as applied/translational research. BSI has excellent facilities and support for lab research (BSI Labs) and field research (in families, schools, clinics, hospitals, etc.).

Both BSI and the School of Psychology are located in the new Maria Montessori building at Radboud University.
