PhD position with the StudentLines initiative: educational pathways and socio-economic background – barriers and opportunities
The Faculty of Spatial Sciences at the University of Groningen offers a four-year PhD position on the StudentLines initiative which is fully funded by Nationaal Programma Groningen.
The candidate will join a lively and highly multidisciplinary project team consisting of PhD candidates and (senior) researchers, spanning the University of Groningen, Hanze University of Applied Science and vocational education institutes in the region.
StudentLines is a large-scale, collaborative and student-centered research and data infrastructure project co-developed by the University of Groningen and the Hanze University of Applied Science. The ultimate goal is to contribute to the quality of education through research, promote educational innovation, monitor interventions and map the interconnections between educational institutions and the professional field (educational careers, progression paths). The project features PhD projects which will contribute, through pilot studies, on key elements of this infrastructure of data and people. They will investigate how StudentLines can engage researchers, educators, policymakers, regional stakeholders and above all, students, to transform how data is used to support students across their entire learning journey.
