Postdoc in Social Psychology
1.0 FTE (38hrs)
vacancy number 10-2063
We offer a dynamic and supportive environment, in an internationally recognized department that ranks among the best in the Netherlands for research and teaching. The department is situated near the centre of town, and has excellent facilities for undertaking research in a broad range of areas (with state-of-the-art facilities available, such as eye-tracking, EEG, ERP and fMRI, cognitive behavioural testing suites, social observation lab).
Tasks:
The postdoc will be hired as part of a research project on 'Humiliation in Conflictual Intergroup Contexts: Causes, Experiences and Consequences' sponsored by the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO). The postdoc project is concerned with the analysis of the causes, experiences and consequences of humiliation for both minority and majority groups, for example in the Netherlands. The research project primarily has a fundamental research focus, but will also take applications of the results into account. Key questions are the conceptualization of humiliation as a psychological process and the analysis of victim-to-perpetrator trajectories that can fuel intergroup conflicts. The postdoc will have a minor teaching load, consisting mainly of guest lectures in existing courses, small scale undergraduate teaching, and individual supervision of students (max. 20% of the time).
Requirements:
A PhD in Social Psychology or a closely related field. Successful applicants should possess an excellent research record, as evidenced by publications. The ideal candidate is an experimental social psychologist with strong research interests in intergroup research, self regulation, or social cognition approaches to intergroup phenomena. We expect excellent writing skills and expertise with respect to advanced statistical analysis and programming of experiments (e.g. in Medialab, Inquisit), as well as the interest to apply techniques such as eye tracking. The candidate should be prepared to devote full attention to the current project.
