PhD position Wageningen University

Apply before:	24 Augustus 2014
Institute:	Wageningen University
Vacancy text:	In many climate related policy interventions saving energy to save money is a central argument to convince citizens to take action. However, for many segments of energy consumption, monetary savings are irrelevant. This project focuses on situations in which the energy bill is not directly paid by the individuals who use the energy (eg., all-inclusive housing, hotels) and a different approach to encouraging energy conservation is required. This PhD project has two aims: 1. Improve theoretical knowledge about stimulating cooperative behavior in situations in which financial incentives are not relevant. 2. To translate this research into functioning interventions in practice. We ask We seek a candidate with a Master’s degree in a field related to Social Psychology, Economic Psychology, Behavioral Economics or Environmental Psychology, and with a keen interest in both fundamental research and the application of behavioral theories to practice. He/she should be familiar with experimental research and/or surveys, and preferably have a background in quantitative research methods.

Onderzoeker (0,8 – 1,0 fte) voor het project: het meten van groepsprocessen aan Universiteit Twente

Apply before:	22 september 2014
Institute:	Universiteit Twente
Vacancy text:	Job specification Groepsprocessen zijn zeer moeilijk te meten in natuurlijke, real-life, situaties. Nieuwe technologie maakt het mogelijk om interacties tussen individuen binnen en tussen groepen op micro-niveau zichtbaar te maken, bijvoorbeeld met behulp van sociometers en track and trace sensors. Dit project betreft een pionierend onderzoek om uit te zoeken hoe sociometers en track and trace sensors gebruikt kunnen worden voor het inzichtelijk maken van groepsprocessen in real-life situaties. Het doel van het onderzoek is om protocollen te ontwikkelen voor het gebruik van deze technologie en bijbehorende complexe data. Daarnaast zal de betrouwbaarheid en validiteit van deze sensordata voor het meten van verschillende groepsprocessen getest worden. De uitkomsten van dit onderzoek zijn van belang voor onder andere vraagstukken met betrekking tot de relatie tussen werken en leren in teams in de context van innovatie enerzijds en de invloed van diversiteit op groepsinteracties, groepsidentiteit en groepsprestaties anderzijds. Het onderzoek maakt deel uit van het Institute for Innovation and Governance Studies (IGS). Het onderzoek is een samenwerkingsproject van de vakgroep Onderwijskunde met de vakgroep Psychologie van Conflict, Risico & Veiligheid . Voor meer informatie, zie de website van UTwente.
