Delphine Van Muylem

Phd researcher

Department of Work, Organisation and Society

Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences

Delphine's research is focused on (ethnic) diversity in the organizational context. She has obtained her masters' degree in Theoretical and Experimental Psychology at Ghent University in 2022 and started as a PhD student in the VoPP lab in December 2022. Her PhD project aims to study metastereotypes in job ads. As job seekers might be mindful of others’ beliefs about the group they identify with, these metastereotypes might refrain (ethnic) minorities from applying. Delphine investigates what the impact of these metastereotypes is on ethnic minority applicants. In this project, different research methods are used, ranging from qualititive methods, to surveys or eye-tracking. This project is a collaboration with the Department of Experimental Psychology of the FPPW and financed by the Research Foundation Flanders (FWO).
