Over the years, I have accompanied PhD candidates in different roles: as co-supervisor, as external reviewer, and as a member of examination committees, at universities in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Norway, and Australia. Many of these dissertations apply Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA). In my current position, I do not act as a candidate’s first supervisor. I am, however, open to inquiries about co-supervision, external review, and committee service, particularly for dissertation projects that apply QCA and where a primary supervisor is already in place.
