About this position
Universität Wien is advertising a PhD opening in health psychology and science communication through the Health Psychology Group and the Research Platform Trustworthy Science Communication.
The project examines public trust in science, with a specific focus on challenges in health research communication and broader questions around how trust is shaped by communication practices, perceptions of trustworthiness, and changing social and political contexts. The research is explicitly interdisciplinary and brings together expertise from communication science, computer science, psychology, law, and science and technology studies.
Supervision and collaboration involve researchers including Sophie Lecheler, Jakob-Moritz Eberl, Torsten Möller, Laura M. König, Barbara Schober, Nikolaus Forgó, and Sarah Davies. The post is suitable for applicants interested in public science communication, interdisciplinary methods, and research on trust in science.
Applicants should be able to demonstrate interest in or experience with public science communication, the capacity to carry out interdisciplinary research, and the research skills needed to complete a PhD. The announcement notes that PhD candidates will work with an interdisciplinary supervision team and may join one of the doctoral schools at the University of Vienna.
Deadline: 23 June 2026.
