The section Public Administration in the Technology, Human and Institutional Behaviour (HIB)-department is currently seeking an
PhD(1.0 fte) in the areas of
Public Administrationand
Computational Social Science.
THE CHALLENGE
Today's society is characterized by sudden events that disrupt our social and economic systems. This research project covers a very urgent problem: critical digital infrastructures are highly vulnerable to disruptions. One important source is cyber-attacks. While these attacks become increasingly serious, sophisticated, and frequent governments should prepare; however, they cannot do so on their own. In your PhD project you will shed light on how a broad range of public, private, and semi-public actors can closely cooperate to make local and regional governance networks resilient to future cyber-security disruptions. You will combine state-of-the-art computational approaches with mixed methods of data collection (interviews, surveys, simulations) to study governance networks. Your research can help executives, managers, and professionals avoid major crises. You will be a key player in a dynamic, international, and interdisciplinary team of social scientists. The PhD project is part of a larger research project funded by the Dutch Research Council (NWO).
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
As a PhD researcher you study the current practices in government preparedness for technological disruptions in each of (and across) the 25 Dutch Safety Regions. You will gather data and perform analyses that allow you to closely examine the extent to which these regions, and the local governments embedded therein, organize for technological disruptions by examining their risk profiles, as well in more specific policy documents. You will also be involved in broader questions on societal resilience to technological disruptions, like cyber-attacks.
