2-year Postdoc on Origins of Ideological Attitudes, Deadline 15th May Applications are invited for a two-year postdoctoral fellowship at the Centre for the Experimental-Philosophical Study of Discrimination (CEPDISC), a Danish Research Council-funded centre of excellence at Aarhus University, Denmark.
The position is attached to a subproject led by Lotte Thomsen (University of Oslo and Aarhus University) and in collaboration with Jennifer Sheehy-Skeffington (London School of Economics) using experimental and survey methods to investigate the relational and psychological sources of discriminatory and prejudiced attitudes and behaviours. We seek to understand the nature of discriminatory behavior by examining it in light of our evolved psychology and as expressions of particular social concerns that arise with the challenges of living in large and diverse societies.
We will examine the origin of individual differences in views on how individuals and groups should be treated in terms of the different relational and moral frames with which people approach society (e.g. unity, loyalty, hierarchy, equality, proportionality), and will explore how they develop and are expressed differently depending on societal positioning (e.g. SES, gender) and experiences (e.g. in childhood).
The successful applicant will closely collaborate with the PI and the other members at CEPDISC. In particular, the successful applicant is expected to have an interest in social, personality, and/or evolutionary psychology, and a good understanding of social issues as the product of the interaction between psychological and societal influences and prior and current life outcomes. Advanced statistical proficiency is a strong advantage, ideally including areas such as longitudinal, multilevel and/or behavioural genetic modelling.
The position as postdoctoral researcher is a two-year, fixed-term academic research position. As part of a small, interdisciplinary subproject within the centre, the postdoc position will cover a variety of tasks including research design, data collection, analysis and dissemination. The selected candidate will also be expected to contribute substantially to publications, both as first and second author and to take part in the research activities at the centre on a daily basis. The latter includes some organizational tasks, e.g., in relation to organizing workshops, seminars etc. The position includes relatively modest teaching obligations.
