My service to the discipline covers membership in editorial boards, professional associations, and research methods networks. I serve on the editorial boards of International Studies Quarterly (Oxford University Press, since 2024), Foreign Policy Analysis (Oxford University Press, since 2018), and Contemporary Security Policy (Taylor & Francis, since 2018). Within the International Studies Association, I have chaired the Committee on Dissertation Completion Fellowships for the 2025 to 2026 term, which I joined as a member in 2024, and I previously served on the executive committee of the Foreign Policy Analysis Section from 2017 to 2018. In the German Political Science Association (DVPW), I am an elected member of the Ethics Committee for the 2022 to 2027 term and earlier served as co-speaker of the Foreign and Security Policy Group from 2017 to 2023. In research methods, I am a founding member of the Methods Excellence Network (MethodsNET) and I am on the advisory board of COMPASSS, the network for comparative methods for systematic cross-case analysis, which I joined in 2016. Since 2025, I have also advised the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania as a methodological consultant on Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA).
At Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, I co-direct the interdisciplinary master’s programme in Law and Politics of International Security (LLM) and chair the Programme Committee for the Bachelor in Political Science, on which I have served since 2023. From 2024 to 2026, I served on the faculty taskforce concerned with programme committees. In addition, I help organize regular meetings on defence-related research at the Political Science and Public Administration department, and I have previously co-organized the research seminar for junior staff.
I am a regular reviewer for political science and international relations journals, including American Political Science Review, European Journal of International Relations, Contemporary Security Policy, and International Studies Quarterly, as well as methodological journals such as Sociological Methods & Research, Quality & Quantity, and Field Methods. I also review book manuscripts for Cambridge University Press and Oxford University Press, among others.
