Name: Lisette de Jonge-Hoekstra
Department: Developmental Psychology

What you want to achieve with YESS BSS and which working groups you participate in? [2-3 sentences] To contribute to science and education, Early Career Researchers (ECRs) have to take on many roles and activities, which is both a blessing and a burden. To enable ECRs from diverse backgrounds and situations to do this, I believe it is important to give them a voice and to organize initiatives which meet their needs. Therefore I participate in the working groups Visibility & Valorization (chair), Open Science, Diversity & Inclusion and Stress in academia.

What you want to achieve with YESS BSS and which working groups you participate in? I am involved in the Stress in Academia working group and the group on Funding Opportunities and Team Science. Work stress and job insecurity are major challenges for early career researchers, and I aim to contribute to the development of ways to support early career researchers at our faculty in this regard. Moreover, securing research funding is particularly challenging for early career researchers who depend on funding to establish their careers. I want to help to develop options to improve the documentation and sharing of various funding opportunities and agencies.
