Daniela Grunow is Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Amsterdam and Associate Fellow at the Center for Research on Inequalities and the Life Course, Yale University. She defended her Ph.D. thesis 'Convergence, Persistence and Diversity in Male and Female Careers' at Otto-Friedrich University Bamberg (Germany) in 2006. From 2006-2008 Daniela was a Postdoctoral Associate at the Center for Research on Inequalities and the Life Course, Yale University (CT, USA). During her Ph.D. phase she served as a Research Associate in the GLOBALIFE project at Bielefeld University and Bamberg University (Germany), 2001-2005. As a member of the DFG-Project The Household Division of Domestic Labor as a Process, 2005-2006, she engaged in developing longitudinal time-use measures and contributed to establishing a unique set of time-use measurement data on German couples.
Daniela’s research and teaching address the interaction of market work, domestic work and gender relations in different welfare regimes from a life-course perspective. She is interested in quantitative and qualitative methods, especially longitudinal data analysis. Her recent research projects focus on (1) job and occupational mobility in the context of employment interruption, (2) changes in men’s and women’s gender roles during the life course, and on (3) the gender division of housework and paid work in the course of marriage.
In 2010 Daniela Grunow received an ERC Starting Independent Researcher Grant, awarded by the European Research Council. Since January 2011 she is the principal investigator and director of the 5-year research programme APPARENT, Transition to parenthood: International and national studies of norms and gender division of work at the life course transition to parenthood.
