Århus, Århus Kommune, Denmark Aarhus Universitet (AU) Full time

At Aarhus Universitet (AU), we are committed to advancing knowledge and education in the field of political science. We are currently seeking a highly qualified Research Fellow to join our team at the Department of Political Science.

The successful candidate will be employed as part of a research project on how party leaders explain electoral defeat, and how the content of their explanations influence support for the party leader among partisans and trust in democracy more broadly.

The position is part of the project 'Justifying Defeat: Party Leader Framing of Election Losses', which aims to explore how party leaders communicate to their partisans and the public at large when their party has experienced an electoral defeat.

We are looking for a motivated and ambitious researcher with a strong background in quantitative content analysis and experience with analyzing cross-national datasets. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of designing and administering surveys and experiments, as well as an interest in understanding political communication of election results.

The successful applicant will be part of a vibrant and supportive research team with an informal atmosphere. The project offers funding for conferences, additional training, and good opportunities for developing a strong academic network.

In addition to the outlined research tasks, the positions entail teaching the equivalent of one course per year. Salary is highly competitive and set according to the Danish pay schedule, approximately DKK 560,000 - DKK 640,000 per year, depending on qualifications and seniority.

Aarhus University is an equal opportunities employer and welcomes applications from all qualified candidates regardless of their personal background.
