Function description:
The function of research consultant supports staff and Ph.D. students from different disciplines, i.e. psychology, pedagogy, and behavioural sciences (BSI), sociology, and communications science (NISCO). Support can be provided in any phase of the research process, however, the earlier the involvement starts the easier it will be provide adequate support along the way. The main competencies are applied structural linear equation modelling, and research designs for causal analysis in non-experimental research. Support on related issues can of course also be provided. Fellowships and post-docs:
CURRICULUM VITEA
William M. van der Veld is a research consultant at the RTOG, Faculty of Social Sciences at the Radboud University Nijmegen. He received his MA (cum laude) and Ph.D. (cum laude) from the University of Amsterdam. In 2003-2004, he was a fellow at the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Studies (NIAS) investigating the survey response process from different scientific disciplines. His research interests include survey research methodology, measurement, structural equation modelling, causal research with non-experimental designs, social capital, and ethnocentrism.
