We test hypotheses on the relationships between ethnic diversity in localities with inter-ethnic contacts versus conflicts which, in turn, affect solidarity with the (majority) in-group as well as exclusion of (minority) out-groups. These hypotheses will be tested in European countries with broad ranges of local ethnic diversity, taking advantage of similar high-quality secondary data. These data will be analysed using hierarchical structural equation models providing ample analytical possibilities to specify elaborate models and simultaneously taking the structure of the data (i.e. individuals nested in localities) into account. The research project is funded by the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO) through its Conflict and Security Theme.    Work environment With its six Bachelor's and seven Master's programmes, three Research Master's programmes, three educational institutes with a total of 4,500 students, three research institutes and the Academic Centre for Social Sciences, the Faculty of Social Sciences is one of the largest faculties at Radboud University. The study programmes of Cultural Anthropology and Development Studies, Communication Sciences, Sociology and the education in Methods and Techniques are organized in the Educational Institute of Social Sciences. The NISCO research institute performs comparative research in the field of social sciences. The faculty's ambition is to become one of the top social science institutes in Europe, providing high-quality research programmes and study programmes that rank among the best in the Netherlands.    What we expect from you You should have: - a doctoral degree in one of the social sciences; - a list of publications in international journals; - a broad knowledge of interethnic relations and social capital; - advanced knowledge of statistical software (SPSS); - methodological and analytical qualities particularly regarding Structural Equation Modelling (LISREL or MPlus); - experience in survey research, including reporting on analyses; - excellent command of spoken and written English, proven by publications; - organizational talent; - an independent approach and perseverance.   What we have to offer We offer you: - employment: 0,8 - 1,0 fte; - a maximum gross monthly salary of € 4,374 based on a 38-hour working week (salary scale 11); - in addition to the salary: an 8% holiday allowance and an 8.3% end-of-year bonus; - duration of the contract: 12 months * 1.0 fte, or 15 months * 0.8 fte, starting as soon as possible; - the gross salary will be in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement of the Dutch Universities and depends on qualifications and experience; - Radboud University Nijmegen offers dynamic positions in an attractive working environment and has offers an attractive package of fringe benefits such as excellent technical infrastructure, child care, savings schemes, and sports facilities.

Since its inception in 1975, we have led the sector with the development of undergraduate and postgraduate curricula that are bold and innovative and whose currency is maintained by the world-class research performed by our academics. We provide a flourishing, exciting and friendly environment in which to work and have built a dynamic and vibrant research culture that is enriched and facilitated by state of the art infrastructure and supportive management structures (see videos on our homepage). Our team of 38 academics, 7 post-doctoral research fellows and 5 research officers deliver a world-class agenda. We aim to enhance our reputation to the highest level by appointing world-leading scholars and internationally recognised lecturers that will deliver paradigm-shifting research (see vacancies using links on the left). The School was the first institution in the UK to offer a single honours degree in Sports Science (1975). This innovation has continued with the development of sector-leading programmes in Science and Football and Applied Sports Psychology, and 5 MSc programmes (see our Courses page). The curricula are enquiry-based and research-led, and also "world of work" informed. The undergraduate programmes have core research and work-related learning "spines" that are cohesive and progressively structured across all levels. These spines are enriched by the research environment and culture of the School and also by the knowledge transfer and applied work performed with our many industrial and community stakeholders. We currently have 800 undergraduate students 70 MSc taught postgraduates, and recruitment remains buoyant. The School is housed in the Tom Reilly Building, a purpose-built £32m complex that was opened in January 2010 (see videos). This building houses an impressive infrastructure that allows us to interrogate the exercise response from the molecular/cellular level to community settings. The School is part of the Faculty of Science, which is also constituted by the Schools of Pharmacy and Biomolecular Sciences, Natural Science and Psychology and the Astrophysics Research Institute. Research in the School is orchestrated by the Research Institute for Sport and Exercise Sciences. The quality of research emanating from RISES is evidenced by outstanding ratings in Research Assessment Exercises (1996 – 5*; 2001 – 5*; and 2008 – 25% 4*, 25% 3* and 35% 2*). The research strategy is facilitated by the research groups that constitute RISES. Each group has a critical mass and is supported by postgraduate researchers and a targeted staff development fund to attend key congresses around the globe. RISES promotes an ethos of research excellence through the strategic mentoring and development of postgraduate and early career researchers. We currently have 80 PhD students that are all externally funded. Research income to RISES consistently exceeds £1m per annum with a further £0.5m generated from commercial contracts. RISES has a highly developed research training process and hosts flagship events, such as the 16th Annual Congress of the European College of Sport Science in 2011. A key strength of RISES and the School is our work in and around football, which is housed within our newly formed Football Exchange. This organisation allows the football industry to directly access the expertise of the world-leading staff working in this area. Our ambition is to be a global player in Exercise Science and to be internationally renown for our work across the lifespan. We already conduct multidisciplinary research in the young and elderly (in the sedentary and elite), in order to identify the benefits of exercise interventions from a physiological, psychological, biomechanical and social perspective. Our ambition is to attract the very best academics from around the world, such that we can further align research effort with strategic directions of major research councils and the EU (i.e. "healthy ageing", "improved health outcomes" and "research that changes lives in all sections of society"). The scale of this ambition is reflected by the volume and quality of the positions that we are advertising. We wish to inspire and train academics of the future by attracting the very best scholars, and their teams, to lead and deliver a research agenda of critical acclaim and impact. We look forward to receiving your application and promise the successful candidates an environment and culture in which to prosper and excel. Best wishes Professor Tim Cable Director of School, Professor of Exercise Physiology Page last modified by Zoe Miveld on 30 March 2012.
