Postdoctoral Position in Collective Climate Change
vor 6 Monaten
(full-time, E 13 TV-L)
The University of Konstanz is one of eleven Universities of Excellence in Germany. Since 2007 it has been successful in the German Excellence Initiative and its follow-up programme, the Excellence Strategy.
We are a Cluster of Excellence within the Excellence Strategy of the German Federal and State Governments. Being a cooperation between the University of Konstanz and the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior, we use the extensive expertise in the region to create an interdisciplinary environment for the study of collective behaviour that is unique worldwide. "The Centre for the Advanced Study of Collective Behaviour" is dedicated to the study of collective behaviour across a variety of species and across different organizational levels. For more information on the Cluster of Excellence, please visit:.
Are you interested in trying to understand how to promote climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies, especially in collectives? Do you want to understand how and why climate change is impacting human (and potentially animal) cognition, well-being, and other psychological processes? Do you want to work on very interdisciplinary topics, with an applied angle? We are seeking a PostDoc who has finished (or about to finish) a doctoral degree in behavioural/cognitive science, environmental/social psychology, or a related field. The researcher will be based in the new Environmental Collective Behaviour (ECo) group in the beautiful Konstanz, Germany.
The PostDoc project can potentially address the following questions:
1. How does the changing climate impact social and cognitive functioning, and well-being?
2. How can we translate recent academic findings into real-world solutions/interventions, and then test them, in this space?
3. How and why do interventions work at the individual-level and according to what characteristics of different populations of people?
4. How can we test and develop better, more targeted interventions to stimulate societal change (e.g., collective level climate actions)?
5. How do perceptions, beliefs, and attitudes relating to the collective also influence individual-level decisions and actions?
Your Responsibilities
- Help to develop an interesting and impactful line of research in this domain
- Lead large-scale, interdisciplinary projects
- Present results at local and international conference
- Write research papers and other publications
