The Department of Public Administration at the Nijmegen School of Management (Radboud University, Nijmegen, Netherlands) is seeking applications for the position of Postdoctoral Research Fellow. As part of the interdisciplinary faculty research programme / hot spot GAINS (Governance and Innovation in Social Services), the Department of Public Administration has conducted several research projects on the governance and delivery of local public services, a domain which has undergone profound changes over the past decade. In the context of local care services, there have been major initiatives to make services more responsive to the needs of specific groups, such as migrants.

You will conduct theoretical and empirical research into how municipalities and local care providers reach out to migrant populations and to what extent such efforts are in tune with the life worlds of these populations. In other words, you will study the extent to which inclusiveness is part of the efforts to customise social services to the needs and demands of migrant groups. A scoping review of the literature on inclusiveness and social service delivery is part of the research to be conducted, complemented with comparative case research in Dutch municipalities.

We ask

  A PhD in social sciences (e.g. sociology, public administration, political science, human geography), preferably with a focus on migrant groups.

  Experience with empirical research methods, particularly in qualitative research (e.g. interviews, focus groups, ethnography).

  Academic writing skills, demonstrated by publications in peer-reviewed journals.

  Fluency in Dutch (C2) and at least proficient knowledge of English (C1).

  Strong social skills and the ability to effectively communicate with different stakeholders.

  The ability to work creatively, flexibly, and independently.

We offer

  Employment: 40 hours per week.

  A maximum gross monthly salary of € 5.127 based on a 38-hour working week (salary scale 11).

  The exact salary depends on the candidate's qualifications and amount of relevant professional experience.

  In addition to the salary: an 8% holiday allowance and an 8.3% end-of-year bonus.

  Duration of the contract: 2 years.

  The intended start date is 1 October 2020.

  A teaching assignment (0,2 fte) is part of the contract.

  You will be able to make use of our Dual Career Service: our Dual Career Officer will assist with family-related support, such as child care, and help your partner prepare for the local labour market and with finding an occupation.
