Postdoctoral Position in Collective Climate Change

vor 3 Monaten

Konstanz, Deutschland Universität Konstanz Vollzeit

(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
- Supervise junior researchers (e.g., BSc/MSc students)
- Engage with public outreach

Your Competencies
- Graduate degree (PhD level) in a quantitative or mixed-methods field
- Experience in designing, running, analyzing, and publishing experimental studies
- Strong experimental and analytical skills
- Very good communication skills and the ability to engage in teamwork
- Strong written and oral communications skills in English

We Offer
- An interesting and challenging job at the heart of exciting research activities with a unique infrastructure and interdisciplinary research community
- Professional infrastructure and support for conducting research
- Ability to work with world-leading scientists on a new and exciting research field
- Professional development opportunities
- High flexibility and independence in organizing your own tasks
- A family-friendly university and work environment that values and promotes diversity and equal opportunities
- Opportunities for individual training and development
- Payment in accordance with the TV-L pay scale (up to E 13 TV-L)
