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.
