Arbeiten an der Charité
Our research group Gender in Medicine (GiM) specialises in prevention research. The interventions we develop contribute to improving health, quality of life and well-being. We stand for research with a gender- and diversity-sensitive approach, as well as methodological expertise with international networks. Our team is interdisciplinary. Employees from the fields of psychology, nursing sciences and human medicine work closely together. Next to an interesting research field, we are offering a collegial working atmosphere.
Die Stelle im Überblick
The transition to parenthood is a phase of life that is accompanied by profound changes, especially for women. Many future parents worry about their finances and have to redefine their financial goals. While expenses increase, a reduction in working hours (usually for the mother) often reduces household income. Achieving financial goals requires both basic financial education and self-regulation in the implementation of behaviour changes, such as tracking income and expenditure, seeking advice and applying for state benefits. At the same time, most people do not pursue their financial goals alone, but together with their social environment. While previous empirical research has shown the effect of self-regulation training on the successful pursuit of goals, less research has been conducted into the social processes involved in pursuing financial goals. In this BMBF-funded research project, the ‘Healthy Finances’ training programme is being developed, which is aimed at women in transition to parenthood and their social environment in order to improve financial security, initially acutely and then also in the medium and longer term.
Your tasks:
- The position involves the realisation of a doctoral project
- Organisation and management of focus groups for the participatory development of the ‘Healthy Finances’ training programme
- Design of an intervention study- Creation of intervention materials
