The project is part of the consortium “De-escalating Aggressive Encounters between Frontline Workers and Citizens”. The successful candidate will investigate how stress, sleep, and recovery influence staff behaviour, how wearable devices can monitor physiological responses, how to reduce aggression and coercion in residential care, and the ethical implications of wearable monitoring in healthcare settings.

The salary is listed as €3,059–€3,881 gross per month, plus 8% holiday allowance and 8.3% year-end bonus. Additional benefits include 30 or 41 annual leave days, flexible working hours, hybrid work options, a teaching portfolio opportunity, and strong training/career development support.

Applicants should hold a Research Master’s degree in Psychobiology, Clinical or Forensic Psychology, Behavioural Science, Health Sciences, Neuroscience, or a related field. The post also asks for experience with quantitative research, interest in qualitative or mixed-methods research, and a strong interest in psychophysiology, wearable technology, and healthcare.

Deadline: 16 August 2026. Preferred start date: 1 November 2026. Apply through the Radboud University vacancy page linked in the post.
