PhD: Sociale Interacties in het Hoger Onderwijs

Je hebt een passie voor onderwijs, en wil je ontwikkelen tot een onderzoeker met diverse onderzoekskwaliteiten.

Als PhD-student voer je grotendeels zelfstandig onderstaande deelstudies uit. Je wordt begeleid door dr. Sanne van Herpen, dr. Marjolein Zee en prof. dr. Marieke Meeuwisse. Het betreft een vijfjarig project (0,8 fte).

Wat ga je doen?

• Je voert een systematische literatuurstudie uit naar student-docent en student-peer interacties in het hoger onderwijs.
• Je past een mixed-method sociale netwerkanalyse toe om de rol en impact van verschillende netwerkactoren (zoals docenten en medestudenten) op het leren en presteren van eerstejaarsstudenten te onderzoeken.
• Je ontwikkelt en valideert meetinstrumenten voor student-docent en student-peer interacties.
• Je analyseert de invloed van deze interacties op het leren en presteren van studenten.
• Je publiceert de bevindingen in toonaangevende internationale wetenschappelijke tijdschriften en presenteert ze op (inter)nationale conferenties.
• Je werkt samen met studenten en docenten voor de uitvoering van de verschillende deelprojecten.
• Je geeft voor maximaal 10% van je aanstelling onderwijs binnen de bacheloropleiding Pedagogische Wetenschappen en/of Master Onderwijswetenschappen. Je kan hiervoor een didactische training volgen.
• Je participeert in de onderzoeksschool van ESSB en in de internationale onderzoekschool (ICO).

Two Postdocs beyond giving

The aim of Beyond Giving is to provide critical knowledge on how diverse philanthropic foundations shape global justice and with what consequences for global sustainability governance. The project examines a variety of foundations active in global sustainability governance, their interpretations of global justice, the power relations that such interpretations may reinforce or challenge, the institutionalization of such interpretations in concrete policy plans and actions, and the factors that explain variation. The selected postdoctoral researchers will strengthen the team by bringing perspectives on post-colonial contexts, non-Western approaches to justice, gender-related approaches, etc.

These postdoc vacancies are part of the project ‘Beyond Giving: Philanthropic Foundations as Agents of Justice in Global Sustainability Governance?’ funded by the Dutch Research Council. The project is led by Dr. Agni Kalfagianni.

PhD Position in Behavioral Health Economics 1 - 1,0 FTE

Are you interested in understanding how people make health-related decisions under ambiguity and inequality? Do you want to contribute to improving economic evaluations and health policies by incorporating behavioral insights? Join us as a PhD candidate to explore these pressing questions and advance knowledge in health and behavioral economics.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Designing and conducting lab and field experiments to measure ambiguity attitudes, inequality aversion, and well-being preferences in health-related decisions, using advanced methods for controlling beliefs and eliciting preferences.
• Investigating how ambiguity and inequality preferences affect preventive behaviors, healthcare decision-making, and economic evaluations, with a particular focus on improving QALY and well-being measures.
• Exploring how decision utility (anticipative satisfaction) and experienced utility (lived consequences) differ in health contexts and how different framings influence preference measurements.
• Studying public perceptions of health inequalities, particularly in the context of medical resource scarcity, and integrating behavioral economic insights into policy models.

This PhD project will employ a combination of surveys, lab experiments, and theoretical research to uncover new insights in health-related decision-making. It aims to improve the theoretical and empirical foundations of economic evaluations, ultimately guiding fairer and more efficient healthcare policies.

PhD Position in Behavioral Health Economics 2 - 1,0 FTE

Increasingly, economic evaluations support allocation decisions in healthcare. These economic evaluations, assessing both the costs and benefits of healthcare interventions, commonly measure health gains as the outcome of interventions, typically expressed as Quality-Adjusted Life-Years (QALYs). However, it is increasingly recognized that health and social care interventions also produce benefits beyond health. Hence, broader well-being measures have been developed to capture these broader benefits, widening the scope of economic evaluations.

While the use of these well-being instruments is becoming more common in economic evaluations, questions about their theoretical foundations and empirical validity remain. Addressing these questions is important, also in the context of decision making by the Dutch Healthcare Institute (Zorginstituut Nederland). In this PhD thesis, you will contribute to the knowledge in this area.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Investigating the theoretical foundations of wellbeing measures, as well as how these relate to those of conventional QALY measures.
• Designing and conducting empirical studies regarding the validity of these outcome measures (e.g., regarding procedural invariance and constant proportional trade-offs).
• Investigating equity preferences in relation to (health and) wellbeing, and relating this to current decision making frameworks.

This PhD project will employ a combination of surveys, lab experiments, and theoretical research to investigate the validity and use of well-being measures in healthcare decision making. It aims to improve the theoretical and empirical foundations of economic evaluations, ultimately guiding fairer and more efficient healthcare policies.
