Vacancies
Are you interested in joining our interdisciplinary team of ambitious researchers studying population issues? Then we welcome you to reply to the vacancies at NIDI advertised below (if not yet expired).
PhD candidate position on Life course decision-making
Do you want to contribute to meaningful research that investigates how people want to live their lives? NIDI has a vacancy for a PhD candidate position on life course decision-making within the project Background Studies Population 2050 (AB2050).
For more information on the vacancy and the application procedure see: Jobs at KNAW [closing date: 30 April 2025].
2 PhD candidate positions on the demography of part-time work in Europe
NIDI has two vacancies for PhD candidate positions within the project “Meer uren werkt!”.
For more information on the vacancy and the application procedure see: Jobs at KNAW [closing date: 28 April 2025].
3 Researchers at the Assistant/Associate Professor Level
At NIDI we conduct scientific research in the broad field of population studies. To strengthen the future course of the institute, NIDI is seeking next-generation talents in three areas:
• Labor market studies (associate professor level)
• Inequality studies (assistant professor level)
• Human geography/spatial studies (assistant professor level)
The new colleagues at the assistant or associate professor level will play a pivotal role in the institute by (a) developing innovative research lines in which the three areas are studied from a demographic interdisciplinary perspective, (b) strengthening the national and international position of NIDI in the three areas. The three midcareer positions are key for shaping the future of NIDI in maintaining its leading role in acquisition of new research projects, training the next generation of scholars (including PhD students and postdocs) and dissemination of research findings.
For more information on the vacancies and the application procedure see: Jobs at KNAW [closing date: 28 April 2025].
Internships for Research Master students
We offer Research Master students of universities the opportunity to do an internship at NIDI. You can use this internship to write a master thesis, but it can also be part of a course in the curriculum that involves research activities. During the internship you can participate in one of the many interdisciplinary research projects that we are involved in. Available internships are shown below.
Internship on understanding health declines across adulthood
Most adults develop at least one chronic disease in their lifetimes. Chronic diseases tend to accumulate into multimorbidity, lowering quality of life and leading to premature death. The co-occurrence of 2 or more chronic diseases is known as multimorbidity. People with multimorbidity have substantially higher disability and mortality risks than those with just 1 chronic disease and also have higher care needs and medical costs. In this project, the research intern will work with Prof. Solveig Cunningham (NIDI) to advance our understanding of the origins, progression, sequence, and accumulation of chronic diseases across adulthood using SHARE, a population-representative longitudinal dataset from across Europe.
