<div><h2 class="jobSectionHeader">Jouw functie</h2>
We offer an exciting postdoc position in an interdisciplinary research project on the health impacts of extreme weather events. Extreme weather events effect several aspects of human life. One critical area of concern is human health. As climate change increases the frequency of many extreme events, understanding the mechanisms behind these effects becomes crucial. However, most studies about climate-related health impacts focus on specific morbidities or mortality, overlooking the fact that health is multidimensional. Such focus overlooks joint and cumulative effects that are important to overall functionality and well-being of people.
In this project, you will first study different measures of health, beyond mortality, and how they can be used to reflect the diverse effects of climate on health. You will use these measures, weather/climate data and machine learning methodologies to understand how much these different multidimensional aspects of health can be affected by extreme weather events, and how these effects can vary among individuals. Finally, you will create future scenarios of health in line with narratives from the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs), and CMIP6 climate scenarios, to identify vulnerable population hotspots that can be targeted by adequate mitigation policies.

Institute for Environmental Studies (IVM) 
Established in 1971, IVM is a leading environmental research institute that is internationally recognised for its high quality research output in a range of environmental disciplines, as well as for its interdisciplinary work. The mission of the institute is to contribute to sustainable development and care for the environment through scientific research and teaching. IVM aims to do excellent problem-oriented research that is useful to a wide range of stakeholders in the Netherlands and internationally. A unique strength of our research is to understand sustainability problems in their social and economic context. IVM&rsquo;s research community works within four departments: Environmental Economics; Environmental Geography, Environmental Policy Analysis; and Water and Climate Risk. Since 2001 IVM has been part of the Faculty of Science at VU Amsterdam (legal name Stichting VU).
The department of Water and Climate Risk (WCR) studies hydrological and climate processes, and how these processes lead to risks and opportunities for society, the economy, and the environment. A defining characteristic of the department is a multi-disciplinary approach that combines expertise from natural sciences with knowledge from the fields of economics, e-Science and geography. This approach has led to a unique research portfolio of water and climate risk projects, and the department is a global leading institute in flood and drought risk assessment, and risk management research.
The department of Environmental Economics (EE) leads the institute&rsquo;s efforts in improving insights into the interaction between the environment and the economy. The department is one of the main groups of environmental economists in Europe, consisting of around 35 scientific staff and PhD researchers. The department strategy is to consolidate and further strengthen its position as a major player in the European field of environmental economics. Important fields of application include climate change, energy, circular economy, water, ecosystem services, and environmental and natural resource management. The philosophy of the EE department is to closely integrate its research projects with its teaching programme and to initiate and conduct research jointly with stakeholders and collaborating institutes. In the coming years, the EE department will further explore new research fields related to climate economics, economics of sustainable energy, and economics of natural capital.

Junior Lecturer Bioinformatics and Systems Biology - Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU Amsterdam) 

Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam

Junior Lecturer Bioinformatics and Systems Biology

You should be pursuing a relevant degree, have research skills (lit reviews, coding), and knowledge of R/Atlas.ti. Strong communication, reliability, and teamwork are essential.

You will conduct desk research, prepare studies, organize and code papers, and support meta-analysis using R.

Government & Politics

<div>
 <h2 class="jobSectionHeader">Jouw functie</h2>
 Administrative corruption is one of the most pressing unresolved issues of our time, causing severe societal harm worldwide. Despite various (inter)national treaties, regulations, and procedures of good governance, anti-corruption efforts often fail on the organizational level – why?
 Join us as a student researcher to help find out!
 You will support the VENI-funded research project “Elevating Public Integrity by Preventing Corruption” (EPIC), led by Dr. Kristina S. Weißmüller. This project aims to discover the latent typologies and success factors of effective anti-corruption strategy design for public organizations. To find out which anti-corruption strategies work and why, the first step of the project is to conduct a systematic literature review, particularly focussing on micro and meso-level factors such as organization, accountability mechanism, human decision making and moral judgement, and leadership.
 Your responsibilities include support for conducting this systematic literature review. This entails screening scientific databases for relevant literature, summarizing the relevant scholarly discourse, researching cases from practice, and supporting the (meta-)synthesis and meta-analysis of the selected literature.
 The position is part of research funded by the NWO Veni grant scheme. See link

 Jouw functie
 Administrative corruption is one of the most pressing unresolved issues of our time, causing severe societal harm worldwide. Despite various (inter)national treaties, regulations, and procedures of good governance, anti-corruption efforts often fail on the organizational level – why?
 Join us as a student researcher to help find out!
 You will support the VENI-funded research project “Elevating Public Integrity by Preventing Corruption” (EPIC), led by Dr. Kristina S. Weißmüller. This project aims to discover the latent typologies and success factors of effective anti-corruption strategy design for public organizations. To find out which anti-corruption strategies work and why, the first step of the project is to conduct a systematic literature review, particularly focussing on micro and meso-level factors such as organization, accountability mechanism, human decision making and moral judgement, and leadership.
 Your responsibilities include support for conducting this systematic literature review. This entails screening scientific databases for relevant literature, summarizing the relevant scholarly discourse, researching cases from practice, and supporting the (meta-)synthesis and meta-analysis of the selected literature.
 The position is part of research funded by the NWO Veni grant scheme. See link

  Help with preparation work for conducting the study (e.g., pre-registration in OSF) and search query engineering

  Supporting meta-analytical research on the selected papers in R

  Very good communication skills and proficiency in English
  Reliability, diligence (eye for detail), good teamwork
  Willingness and ability to regularly be present in the office at VU Amsterdam but also work independently to some degree
 
 As a university, we strive for equal opportunities for all, recognising that diversity takes many forms.
