Dear all,
Please find here below a reminder for the postdoctoral research position on
collective responsibility.
Understanding Responsibility in Ecosystems of Technical Universities (deadline
18/06/2021)
https://jobs.tue.nl/en/vacancy/postdoc-%E2%80%9Cunderstanding-responsibility-
in-ecosystems-of-technical-universitiesquot-879170.html
Job description
You will study how responsibility plays out in the ecosystems of Technical
Universities, and
how interventions about responsibility and normative evaluation can be
understood through applying and developing system-philosophical theories.
Your conceptual research will have strong connection with empirical research
and actual interventions. You will comparatively analyse how responsibility
can be understood in the current dynamic of eco-systems of the different
technical universities involved in this project. You will propose
interventions to the universities to improve the support to challenge-based,
co-creative education (e.g., how to optimize building long-term partnerships
with stakeholders including citizens with specific requests, companies, and
students). You will analyse the outcomes of these interventions, with a focus
on the responsibility of students, teachers, university management and other
stakeholders in the university eco-system.
Parallel with the research, you will engage in challenge-based
education
yourself. The experiences gained here are relevant input for the research
project. The percentage of contract time spent on these educational activities
is expected to be around 25%.
Overall project
The philosophy postdoctoral research project is part of the BoostEuroTeQ
Project, which is itself part of a larger Erasmus+ project. The Erasmus+
EuroTeQ project unites
leading universities of science and technology across Europe in setting-up
innovative education aiming to increase responsibility attitudes for students,
staff and management, but also to strengthen the responsible value co-creation
in their ecosystems. To achieve this goal, the educational innovation must go
beyond course and curriculum innovations, and should also focus on university
organisational and even eco-system development. The BoostEuroTeQ project is an
add-on research project to the EuroTeQ, and it is here where you would come
in. You will work with Gunter Bombaerts and Isabelle Reymen at TU Eindhoven
and collaborate with the other EuroTeQ universities.

Conditions of employment
- A full-time employment for 3 years. Expected start September 1st, 2021.
- A meaningful job in a dynamic university and an ambitious European
network of technical universities. Possibility to present your work in the
vibrant dynamic of the project and at international conferences.
- You will have free access to high-quality training
programs for research and valorisation, professional development courses
for PhD students, and didactical courses of the TEACH training program.
- A gross monthly salary between 3,353 and 4,402 and benefits in
accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities.
