Scholarship Details:
In this project, a PhD student will assess the nonresponse problem by investigating survey participation mechanisms. We welcome research ideas from different perspectives, for example: survey methodological theories, sociology, and/or linguistics. To get an in-depth understanding of survey (non)-participation, we encourage the PhD student to use quantitative as well as qualitative techniques.
The PhD student will work in close collaboration with an interdisciplinary research team consisting of: Dr Marieke Haan, Prof. Marijtje van Duijn (Faculty of Behavioural and Social Sciences), Dr Yfke Ongena and Prof. John Hoeks (Faculty of Arts). You will be committed to conducting original scientific research, and will be expected to disseminate this research in academic and non-academic publications and presentations.
