Deadline: June 15, 2008
The Department of Psychology of the University of Louvain at
Louvain-la-Neuve (Belgium) announces the opening of:
- three doctoral (4 years, full-time) and
- one post-doctoral (one year, full-time) positions, starting October
1st, 2008.
1. The three doctoral positions concern a research project on religious
fundamentalism and convictional dogmatism, a large interdisciplinary
project between psychology (social and developmental) and law
(including social criminology). All positions include successful preparation of a
Ph.D.
More in details:
One doctoral position will focus on the study of consequences of
fundamentalism on interpersonal behavior (altruism, aggression,
submission) and requires skills in social experimental psychology.
A second doctoral position will focus on moral judgment (cognitive,
emotional, and relational aspects) as reflecting convictional dogmatism
and requires knowledge of moral and personality psychology.
A third doctoral position will focus on the study of the development of
ethnic and religious identities and pluralism among children as well as
the study of regressive tendencies in cognitive development of adults
high in dogmatism; it will require skills on developmental and educational psychology.
2. The post-doctoral position (PhD in psychology) concerns three
studies on
(a) the role religion plays on the acculturation between the host
society and immigrant minorities (of both high and low SES);
(b) the distinction between islamophobia and anti-Arab prejudice; and
(c) the possible “aversive racism” among the left-wing.
Both surveys and experiments are planned.
The fellowship amounts to a net salary of approx. 1.413 € monthly for
each of the doctoral positions, and approx. 1.963 € monthly for the
postdoctoral one (both are tax free with right to Social Security).
Applicants should have knowledge of French and English, strong
background in theory and methods of the respective psychological field,
as well as openness and interest in interdisciplinarity. For the
postdoctoral position, publications in international journals are
required. Applications should include a CV, mention of the position for
which you apply, an application letter explaining motivation, and two
names of experts who could provide recommendation if requested.
Deadline: June 15, 2008
