  Research Assistant Position in Quantitative Methods for the Social Sciences

  The PhD student will write a thesis under the supervision of Dr M. Studer and Prof. G. Ritschard as part of the research project IP 214 of NCCR LIVES « Measuring and modelling vulnerability dynamics in a life-course context ». This research project intends to formalize a general framework for the quantitative modelling of life-course vulnerability. This includes two aspects: the measurement and conceptualization of vulnerability as a state or a risk (such as being at risk to fall in an unwanted situation) and as a process (e.g., social disaffiliation process). In a second stage, the research project will investigate methods to measure how vulnerability (measured as a state or process) is linked to explanatory individual factors (sex, social class…) or contextual dimensions (unemployment rates, social policies…). An application of the developed methodological framework in socioeconomics, such as vulnerability processes in employment, is also planned.
