Dear all, I am looking for a PhD candidate to join the DFG- and ANR-funded third-party project "Unequal mandate responsiveness? How electoral promises and their realizations target groups in France and Germany" (UNEQUALMAND) at the Chair of Empirical Democracy Research, University of Trier. UNEQUALMAND examines political (in-)equality in France and Germany through the lens of group representation, with a focus on mandates and their realization in the form of policies. The project seeks to analyse electoral programmes and conduct surveys including experiments. The project is based at the University of Trier, University of Stuttgart and Sciences Po. The deadline for application is 03.04.2022. The position starts preferably on 01.06.22, but MA students are welcome to apply if their degree is expected before October 2022.
