ProjectThe junior researcher will mainly work on a PhD in the field of policing and security. This research might be about leadership and strategy formation within the police, but this is still to be decided by mutual agreement. The research will mainly use qualitative research methods, but might also include quantitative methods.
In addition to that, the junior researcher will, together with his/her colleagues, also provide support for various courses in the Bachelor of Criminology. These could be courses (in Dutch) on organisation-centered methods of the criminological intervention (C00A6A and C01A1B), but also the qualitative part of the three courses (in Dutch) in methodology (C00A2A, C00A3A and C00A4A). The junior researcher will also be involved in the supervision of master's dissertations and might be involved in other research projects within the research team.
