Successful candidates are expected to develop productive collaborations with faculty in the topic of: (a) radicalization, (b) deradicalization, and (c) self-regulation.

Candidates must hold (or be close to completing) a Ph.D. in social psychology, or a related field. PhD holders with a strong publication record, a background in motivation, violent extremism, or persuasion research. Further, statistical expertise in structural equation modeling, is a plus.

Applications will be considered on a rolling basis. To be considered, all applicants need to submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae with full publication list, statement of research interests, representative publications, and two letters of reference, all in PDF format.
