About this position

Postdoctoral position at the Department of Psychology, Aarhus BSS, Aarhus University, in a project titled “Testing a Narrative Identity Intervention to Support Personal Recovery” (RETELL).

The project investigates the effect of a narrative identity intervention for people with severe mental illness, with a focus on personal recovery. The postdoc will help design and run a randomized controlled study, prepare protocols and ethics applications, develop recruitment materials, coordinate participant data collection, revise the intervention manual, support student assistants, analyze data, and write articles for international journals.

This is a full-time, fixed-term 3-year position starting on January 4, 2027 or as soon as possible thereafter. The role includes 30% teaching, supervision/training related to therapist tasks, and opportunities for international conferences.

Required qualifications include a cand.psych. degree and a PhD in psychology. The department seeks applicants with interest or experience in therapeutic work with people with severe mental illness, English academic writing, collaboration across and beyond the university, and research interests in narrative identity, personal recovery, intervention development, and intervention evaluation. Danish language skills are required because the intervention is delivered in Danish.

Supervisors/project leaders named in the post are Dinne Skjærlund Christensen (Assistant Professor) and Dorthe Kirkegaard Thomsen (Professor), both at Aarhus University.

Application deadline: Thursday, October 1, 2026 at 11:59 PM CEST. Apply via Aarhus University’s recruitment system and upload the required documents: application, CV, education certificates, publication list, up to 3 publications, co-authorship declaration if relevant, and teaching portfolio.
