Location: AMSTERDAM
FTE: 0.8
Job description
In the research project that the successful candidate will be working on we will analyse (already available) video recordings of collaboration between police officers in realistic training situations. The analysis will aim to integrate the cognitive and embodied views on teamwork and to test different methods for analysing teamwork of police officers. On the basis of the "big five" teamwork model (Salas et al., 2005) and the framework of joint action (e.g. Sebanz et al., 2006) we will develop a codebook and code the behaviors of police officers in the recorded training scenario's. For each scenario we have... data available on gender and experience of the police officers in the scenario, and measures for quality of collaboration, amount of trust in their colleague, and level of realism of the scenario (as perceived by the officers). After coding we will test different analysis methods to identify behavioral temporal patterns (i.e. patterns that represent teamwork) and identify strengths and weaknesses of these methods.
Requirements
• A master degree (or about to obtain one) in human movement sciences, psychology or a related field;
• Keen interest in how humans collaborate under complex circumstances and the role embodiment plays;
• Affinity with observational data;
• Curiosity to experiment with different analysis methods to identify behavioral temporal patterns such as REM or T-pattern detection.
• Interest to co-author scientific publications on the outcomes of these studies.
What are we offering?
A challenging position embedded in two institutes, the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (employer) and the Netherlands Institute for the Study of Crime and Law Enforcement (NSCR, where the data is obtained and stored). The employment contract will affect a period of 8,5 months. On full-time basis the remuneration amounts to a minimum gross monthly salary of €2.960 (scale 10-0) and a maximum €4.670 (scale 10-12), depending on your education and experience.

About the department, institute, project
The department of Human Movement Sciences performs research on the human musculoskeletal system, on the way people move, and on how human movement can be influenced in the context of sports, health, physical education and rehabilitation. Our research is multi-disciplinary: we combine anatomy, physiology, psychology and biomechanics to understand and improve human movement.
We provide educational programs at the BSc and MSc levels in the same domain, with a strong emphasis on scientific training. In addition, we have a research-based PhD program.
The department has a strong commitment to theory development, and innovative research, but we also prioritize the societal value of our research and devote ample time and attention to translation of our research findings to promote their application in practice.
