Basel, Schweiz Universität Basel Vollzeit

The project “Class identity politics: the (new) political role of social class in Western Europe” (funded by Swiss National Science Foundation), investigates determinants and consequences of class identities in Western Europe. It seeks to answer the following questions: How salient are social class identities in Western Europe and what determines their salience? Does inequality lead to more conflict between social classes? What is the role of political actors in shaping social class identities? How important are social class identities for political decision-making?

The project consists of three work packages: a large-scale survey, an analysis of parliamentary speeches with automated text analysis, and two survey experiments.

**Your position**

The successful applicant will be expected to contribute to the implementation (together with Denise Traber) of a comparative survey in five European countries (France, Germany, United Kingdom, Sweden and Switzerland), and to collaborate with the other project members, contributing to the research output across the project's three work packages. Further responsibilities are helping to organize events - such as workshops and conference panels - to disseminate the research findings.

**Your profile**
- Completed PhD in Political Science or related discipline
- Demonstrated capacity for producing excellent research (e.g. internationally visible publications, manuscripts under revise and resubmit, high-potential working papers)
- Solid expertise in quantitative methods, including experimental methods
- Experience with coding and data management in R and/or Python
- Excellent communication skills (oral and written) in English. Knowledge of German is a plus

**We offer you**
- An appreciative and inspiring work environment and opportunity to collaborate in a motivated team
- Opportunity to develop an independent research agenda
- Travel funding for international conferences
- Competitive salary based on University of Basel guidelines

**Application / Contact**

1) a cover letter
2) a CV (including names of two academic references)
3) a single-authored writing sample

Closing date is 30 June 2023.
