Hi all,


The Institutions and Political Economy Research Group (
http://www.ub.edu/iperg/) seeks to appoint one post-doctoral fellow in
comparative politics and/or political economy linked to the COVIDEMO Social
Research La Caixa project on the effects of the pandemic crisis on
democratic preferences.



 The aim of the COVIDEMO project is to understand the way in which the
COVID-19 crisis affects technocratic attitudes and democratic preferences.
The COVIDEMO Principal Investigator is Professor Francesc Amat and the
research team is also composed of professors Jordi Muñoz, Andreu Arenas and
Albert Falcó all from the University of Barcelona.



The research team is looking for young political scientists or economists –
preferably with strong quantitative skills. The position will have a
duration of 12 months. The selected postdoctoral fellow will be required to
be in residence at IPERG-UB in Barcelona during the 12 months. We can be
somewhat flexible on the start date of the postdoctoral fellowship, but it
should be no later than January 2022.



The stipend, commensurate with those for postdoctoral researchers in Spain,
will be in the range between 34.000 and 36.000 euros for the duration of
the whole contract.



The COVIDEMO project will investigate the extent to which citizens have
switched towards more technocratic preferences and lower levels of
political trust. The project will also explore the contextual moderating
role of social capital and latent authoritarianism. We want to analyze if
the changes in political preferences are short-term or will have
long-lasting consequences.



Interested candidates may contact the COVIDEMO principal investigator for
more details by email: [log in to unmask]

of their research accomplishments and interests, one paper, and two
recommendation letters.
