Connected to our project Playing the Hidden Curriculum, we’re recruiting a fully funded PhD student at Utrecht University/University Medical Center Utrecht. The PhD will be conducting research into the “hidden curriculum” prevalent at Utrecht University, using games and play as heuristic to explore the hidden curriculum’s goals and rules (i.e., prevalent norms, social and institutional conditions), “players” (i.e., teachers and students), and (successful) strategies involved in traversing it.

We’re looking for a candidate with a keen interest in educational research.

The position is funded for a duration of four years (with a one year probationary period) with a salary between € 3.017,- and € 3.824,- gross per month, based on full-time employment (36 hours). For a more detailed description of the position see: https://www.academictransfer.com/en/jobs/351806/phd-project-level-the-playing-field-by-exposing-the-hidden-curriculum/ 

Don’t hesitate to get in touch with either Gisela van der Velden (g.j.vandervelden-2@umcutrecht.nl) or Jasper van Vught (j.f.vanvught@uu.nl) if you’re considering applying and have questions.
