Two PhD Candidates for 'Gender in Academic Careers'

Your duties will be: desig­ning and conduc­ting rese­arch, trai­ning in connec­tion with the rese­arch project and a limi­ted amount of teaching at the Nijme­gen School of Manage­ment. The rese­arch must lead to a PhD thesis.



Two PhD posi­ti­ons are avai­la­ble, cove­ring the follo­wing areas:



27.20.13/1: Gender Equa­lity Trai­ning in Science through Group Model Buil­ding

This is a compa­ra­tive rese­arch project on gender equa­lity in acade­mia in eight coun­tries, focu­sing on the effects of gender equa­lity trai­ning. You will examine how Group Model Buil­ding invol­ves stake­hol­ders in a science faculty in the issue of gender equa­lity.



27.20.13/2: Gende­ring the Academy and Rese­arch: Comba­ting Career Insta­bi­lity and Asym­me­tries

This is a compa­ra­tive rese­arch project on gender and preca­ri­ous workers in acade­mia in seven coun­tries. You will examine how gender affects the career possi­bi­li­ties of young acade­mics in an era of auste­rity, new mana­ge­ri­a­lism and globa­li­za­tion.



The posi­ti­ons are finan­ced through two grants from the seventh frame­work programme of the Euro­pean Commu­nity for Rese­arch. Precon­di­tion for both posi­ti­ons is the final signa­ture of the contract by the EU. The PhD candi­da­tes will be formally employed by Radboud Univer­sity Nijme­gen. Both projects will be conduc­ted within a broa­der Euro­pean consor­tium of rese­arch part­ners.
