Dear all, This is just a friendly reminder that we currently have a vacancy for a Research Associate (100%, until 28.02.2026) in our Horizon Europe project INCITE-DEM at the Department of Political Science. In this project with 9 European partners, we address the question of how participatory processes can make representative democracies more stable. The core task of the position is to design, implement, and analyze international surveys with experimental components, and of course to write papers in the context of the project with colleagues in Münster (Doris Fuchs, Oliver Treib, and myself). We are looking for a person who has experience in collecting and analyzing survey data, speaks English very well, and is interested in research on the crisis of democracy, democratic innovations, and/or the democratic challenges of sustainability transformation. PhD is a plus, but not a must. All further information about the position - including what we offer as an employer - can be found here: https://www.uni-muenster.de/Rektorat/Stellen/ausschreibungen/st_20231003_sk7.html (please scroll down for the English version) Oliver Treib (oliver.treib@uni-muenster.de) and I are very happy to answer follow-up questions; the deadline is April 10, 2023!
