About this position

This postdoc is based at Utrecht University and focuses on an exploratory historical investigation into the Binnenlandse Veiligheidsdienst (BVD) in the decades after the Second World War.

The project asks how the BVD and related intelligence services gathered information about former resistance members, victims of persecution, and victims of political violence in Indonesia. The appointed researcher will use literature review and exploratory archival/source research to map the current state of knowledge and identify opportunities for further study.

The vacancy is situated in the Faculty of Humanities, within an environment that brings together history and related disciplines in the historic city centre of Utrecht. The university describes a collaborative research setting with strong attention to societal themes, academic exchange, and an inclusive working culture.

The work is framed as a short-term, research-oriented assignment aimed at producing a report for ongoing public and parliamentary interest in the topic.
