We are looking for a candidate who will strengthen ongoing research in the field of successful aging from a lifespan perspective. Societies are aging worldwide with biological age being the strongest risk factor for multiple chronic diseases and mental decline. However, individual differ a lot in their aging processes. Each and every individual has the ability to adapt to age-related losses and challenges and to make optimal use of their latent psychological, mental, physical and social potentials. Life of older adults is often less socially structured in terms of social embeddedness, social integration and social status than in earlier periods of life. We want to strengthen our research on the impact of social roles (e.g., grandparents) for individual differences in aging successfully (e.g., psychological, mental, physical, social health and well-being) especially in very old adults. To investigate both short- and long-term changes, we will apply a multi-method research approach, working with existing population-based longitudinal data sets and collecting new data including self-reports, behavioural assessments and ESM.
The candidate will work together with Prof. Dr. Yvonne Brehmer and other members of the department at the Tilburg School of Social and Behavioral Sciences by collaborating within and across different departments.
In consultation with the head of the department, teaching is possible up to a maximum of 10% of a full-time appointment.
