    Beschrijving
    Do you hold a PhD in psychology (or directly related fields) and would you like to pursue a post-doc investigating how and why people behave in ways that reduce infection risks to themselves and others? Please apply for the 3-year post-doc position in headed by Joshua Tybur at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam.

    Location: AMSTERDAM
    Duration: 3 years
    FTE: 1 - 1

    Job description

    General Description
    A Postdoc position for three years for 1.0 fte is available at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam in the social psychology section of the Department of Experimental and Applied Psychology. The position is part of the ERC Consolidator Grant NONPHARM: "The Psychological Underpinnings of Nonpharmaceutical Interventions".

    The Research Project
    Infectious diseases cripple well-being, batter economies, and kill millions annually. These negative consequences can be reduced via nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) – behaviors that reduce the spread of pathogens. A wealth of recent theoretical and empirical work has illuminated how and why disgust intuitively motivates some NPIs, such as avoiding bodily wastes and spoiled foods. However, disgust does little to inhibit transmission via aerosols, respiratory droplets, and fomites – key pathways for the respiratory pathogens that circulate seasonally, have caused recent pandemics, and will cause the pandemics of the future. NONPHARM uses theory and methods from social psychology, evolutionary psychology, health psychology, and behavioral genetics to increase knowledge of how and why people (and do not) engage in NPIs such as handwashing, social isolation while infectious, and creating barriers to respiratory droplets and aerosols.

    This postdoc is embedded within one cluster of the NONPHARM project. Within this cluster, we will examine how people behave when they are ill, how people think about illnesses, and how people view others with illnesses. Responsibilities will include: (1) conducting literature reviews; (2) working with the PI to design and execute studies; (3) working with the PI to coordinate with collaborators; (4) communicating with a panel research agency; (5) managing and analyzing data; and (6) assisting or leading manuscript preparation.

    The candidate will ideally have a background in the evolutionary social sciences and experience with cross-cultural research. Familiarity with literatures on disgust, pathogen avoidance, sickness behavior, or hygiene is helpful, though not required.

    Requirements

  • A PhD in social, cultural, or evolutionary psychology (or related field, such as anthropology)
  • Excellent data-analytic skills
  • Demonstrated ability to engage in effective scientific writing
  • Demonstrated ability to think and work outside-the-box
  • Excellent command of English
  • Be able to start in Spring 2024 (though there is flexibility)
  • What are we offering?

    A challenging position in a socially involved organization. On full-time basis the remuneration amounts to a minimum gross monthly salary of €3,877 (scale 10-4) and a maximum €5,090 (scale 10-12), depending on your education and experience. The job profile: is based on the university job ranking system and is vacant for 1 FTE.

    The appointment will be initially for 1 year. After satisfactory evaluation of the initial appointment, it can be extended for 2 more years, with up to one more year possible contingent on funding.

    Additionally, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam offers excellent fringe benefits and various schemes and regulations to promote a good work/life balance, such as:
  • a maximum of 41 days of annual leave based on full-time employment
  • 8% holiday allowance and 8.3% end-of-year bonus
