Dear colleagues, At University of Muenster, we are currently looking for two postdoc researchers in our new Horizon 2020 project INCITE-DEM. The project analyzes if and how deliberative and interactive procedures of citizen involvement in the design, adoption and implementation of sustainability policies may improve citizens’ satisfaction with democracy and trust in representative institutions. The two positions are intended to conduct research in the framework of work packages that are led by Doris Fuchs, Bernd Schlipphak, and Oliver Treib. Position 1 will focus primarily on developments in the institutions of representative democracy in EU member states and on current trends in procedures of citizen participation. Position 2 will be devoted primarily to collect and analyze survey data on visions of, and attitudes towards, democracy among the citizens of EU member states.
