About this position

The University of Oslo invites applications for a full-time PhD Research Fellowship in Psychology focused on personality and depression across the lifespan. The fellowship is based in the Personality unit within the Section for Health, Developmental, and Personality Psychology in the Department of Psychology, Faculty of Social Sciences.

The project is connected to the Depression Research Initiative (DRIVE), a collaborative research initiative comprising five work packages. This PhD project will be linked particularly to the work package examining the development of depression and will investigate how personality and environmental factors interact with mental health across the lifespan.

Potential research questions include how individual and environmental characteristics predict personality development; how personality traits relate to depression, other mental health outcomes, personal relationships, and social, work, and academic functioning; and how parent and child characteristics are associated with personality and depression. The successful candidate will help develop specific research questions, prepare and analyze data, complete a PhD thesis, publish in international scientific journals, and present findings to international audiences.

The fellow will join the Personality group and participate in the Department of Psychology’s PhD programme. The research environment brings together the department’s expertise in personality psychology, developmental psychology, health psychology, and depression research within an internationally oriented comprehensive university.
