- The third position is a fully paid junior researcher position for 4 years, with 100% research time. The dissertation is part of a FWO granted project that aims to develop and examine innovative selection/ assessment procedures. Given that the world is characterized by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA), there is increasing consensus that assessment approaches should become more adaptable. Therefore, this project focuses on “hybrid” selection/ assessment procedures, which combine and assemble different building blocks related to various selection procedures into a new approach.
