About this position
The Department of Psychology at the University of Copenhagen is offering a fully funded 3-year PhD position in adult clinical psychology and psychotherapy research within the project Treatments for Complex PTSD (RECONNECT-trial). The project is a randomized controlled trial in mental health services and focuses on patient involvement and on mechanisms of change across three intervention arms: Prolonged Exposure, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing, and Enhanced Emotional and Interpersonal Skills Training.
The PhD student will take a central role in the project and will contribute to major parts of the data collection, including participant assessment with the International Trauma Interview in Danish and monitoring recruitment. The role also includes conceptualizing and conducting a subset of studies, managing and analyzing survey and interview data, preparing manuscripts, and communicating findings to both scientific and stakeholder audiences.
The position sits within a research group working on psychotherapy and trauma and is embedded in a collaborative environment involving researchers in psychology and psychiatry. The department describes itself as a vibrant, inclusive workplace with a large community of faculty, postdocs, and PhD students and an international research environment spanning a wide range of topics and methodologies.
The project offers scope for the student to help shape parts of the research within the project framework and to engage in both quantitative and qualitative research on complex trauma treatment.
