About this position

This postdoc position is part of a research project on which skills and competencies public service professionals need to apply the “human touch” in service delivery. The project is carried out at Erasmus University Rotterdam, within the Erasmus School of Social and Behavioural Sciences and the Organisation and Management team.

The successful candidate will join a small research team working on a topic at the intersection of public service, organisational practice and social science. The postdoc will take responsibility for two core substudies: a lab experiment and a survey. In addition, there may be opportunities to contribute to other substudies in a supporting or more active role, depending on interest and fit. The role combines research with teaching at bachelor level.

The team works in a multidisciplinary environment with researchers and teachers studying topics such as public organisations, collaboration, HR policy, leadership, innovation and integrity. Research methods in the group range from qualitative case studies to large-scale surveys and behavioural experiments, making this a setting for someone interested in mixed-method and applied social research.

The position is based in Rotterdam at Campus Woudestein, in an internationally oriented university with a strong societal mission. The advert points to a project focused on understanding and improving public service practice through empirical research and team-based collaboration.

Funding details

Funded by NWO; salary scale 11.0 for full-time 38 hours: €4,925 gross per month, with a contract of 1 year and possible extension of about 20 months.

What's required

Applicants must have completed a PhD in a relevant discipline such as public administration, sociology or psychology (or a related field). Affinity with experimental research is required, as is proficiency in the Dutch language. The postdoc should be able to work independently and collaboratively in a small research team; experience with the research topic is preferred but not required. Affinity with survey research and willingness to contribute to teaching bachelor students are also expected.
