Postdoctoral Researcher: Understanding Old-Age Inequality

32 hours per week

Maximum gross monthly salary: 5,127

Faculty of Social Sciences

Required background: PhD

Duration of the contract: 20 months

Application deadline: 4 January 2021

We are looking for

The position is part of the research project 'Understanding old-age inequality: The impact of work, family and health trajectories on post- retirement economic, social and psychological well-being across Europe', funded by InstituutGak. The primary goal of this project is to better understand inequality in old age, which might be increasing due to current policies to promote longer working lives. The project will examine how work, family and health trajectories prior to retirement affect inequality in people's retirement transitions and their post-retirement economic, social and psychological well-being. It also studies how labour market, pension and welfare policies aggravate or cushion the influence of work, family and health trajectories on old-age inequality. Within the project's scope, the postdoctoral researcher will have ample opportunity to pursue his or her own research ideas.

The project innovatively builds on theoretical insights derived from the life course perspective, namely the notion of path dependency, the cumulative advantage/disadvantage mechanism and the principle of agency, to arrive at new and testable hypotheses. These will be tested by applying advanced analysis techniques to high-quality panel and retrospective SHARE(LIFE) data of more than 90,000 people from 29 European countries.

As a postdoctoral researcher, you will be expected to conduct and publish top- quality research and to disseminate your research findings to a wide audience. Moreover, you will collaborate with researchers in the Sociology department and with external (including international) scholars, participate in conferences and contribute to teaching.

We ask

A PhD degree in social sciences. If you are close to completing your PhD, please state the defence date.

An excellent track record in scientific research, as evidenced by publications in international academic journals.

Knowledge of and skills in (advanced) quantitative research (especially the preparation and analysis of both longitudinal and multilevel data).

Good social, communication and organisational skills.

Experience with communicating research findings to a wider audience will be appreciated.

Expertise in teaching at an academic level.
