PhD in Social Psychology (100%)
Starting date: June 1, 2025; not later than Sept 1, 2025
The Center for Social Psychology at the Faculty of Psychology of the University of Basel is recruiting for a full-time PhD position (100%) starting June 1, 2025, or latest Sept 1, 2025.
The Faculty of Psychology is one of seven faculties of the University of Basel, the oldest university in Switzerland. With our core focus on Society & Choice and Health & Interventions, we are successful both nationally and internationally in our research and study programs.
The Center for Social Psychology specializes in research topics of high societal relevance, including social exclusion. Feeling socially excluded can have severe consequences on the individual and group level, and is related to a variety of economic, political, and societal parameters. We explore topical questions such as the connection between political events and exclusion feelings or the preference for political exchange versus exclusion. This specific PhD project will focus on feelings of social exclusion in a personal or political context or on political participation and exchange. Our team places emphasis on state-of-the-art methodology including artificial intelligence tools.
