Basel, Schweiz The Biozentrum, University of Basel Vollzeit

Your position This project examines the quality of politicians, with a particular focus on how citizens assess it. Beyond ideology, we explore whether MPs can effectively perform and implement their ideas - something shaped by their effort and policy influence. The project develops a comprehensive index of MP quality always with a close focus on which qualities voters value most. In a second step, we analyze how these factors influence vote choice, and how the role of quality in elections can be strengthened. Empirically, the project combines surveys, survey experiments, and text-as-data methods. Your profile Master in Political Science or related field Strong skills in quantitative methods and a strong command of R or another statistical programme Motivation to conduct independent research on your PhD as well as work together with an international team of researchers Interest in research on legislators and voters Fluency in written and spoken English
