In terms of research, we would welcome a colleague who will strengthen the research profile of our department. Our aim is to contribute to the optimal development and participation of all children and youth in increasingly diverse societies. We link their development and learning to social issues such as equity, cultural and linguistic diversity, and participation and examine how pedagogical and educational contexts and facilities can be optimized to improve the development and participation opportunities for children and youth. We are looking for a colleague who has expertise in one or more of the following areas: participation of children and youth with a disability in all areas of life, partnership of families with their surrounding systems to develop new models for strengthening the agency of families in which children and youth with a disability are growing up, and the role of (parental) beliefs and empowerment in order to optimize the development of children and youth with a disability.
The department's research is positioned in the UU research programme Education and Learning and is embedded in several central strategic themes and focus areas of Utrecht University: Dynamics of Youth and Institutions for Open Societies, Migration and Social Change.
The position involves 60% teaching activities and 40% research time. Core tasks will include contributing to:
