The University of Graz is advertising a postdoctoral position in the Center for Psychotherapy, focused on psychotherapy research and clinical psychology with a strong emphasis on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). This is a University Assistant with Doctorate role, offered as a temporary full-time appointment for up to 6 years, starting on 2026-10-01.
The successful candidate will conduct independent research in psychotherapy research or clinical psychology and contribute to ongoing research projects in psychotherapy, especially those with a CBT focus. The role also includes independent teaching of around 4 semester hours per semester, supervision of bachelor’s and master’s theses, participation in team meetings, supervision and intervision, and involvement in university committees and evaluation processes. The post explicitly encourages the development of an independent research profile and participation in competitive third-party funding applications, including FWF, FFG, and EU schemes.
Applicants should have a very good degree in psychotherapy science or a related discipline such as psychology, medicine, education, sociology, philosophy, theology, teacher education, or social work, and must hold a doctoral degree. The university is seeking candidates with practical and academic experience in psychotherapy research, publication experience in peer-reviewed journals, teaching competence, familiarity with clinical assessment tools such as SCID-5, CIDI, and DIPS, and solid quantitative methods skills, including regression analysis, linear mixed models, structural equation modeling, and multilevel models. Experience with statistical software such as R, SPSS, Mplus, or Python is required, and excellent English is essential.
The appointment offers a full-time annual gross salary of at least €70,200.20 under salary category B1 with PhD status, with possible overpayment depending on qualification and experience. The position is based in Graz, Austria, at the University of Graz, a research-intensive institution that emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration, diversity, inclusion, flexibility, and professional development.
Applications must be submitted through the university’s web-based applicant tool. Required documents include a letter of motivation, academic CV, employer reference, list of references, and doctoral degree award notification. The deadline is 2026-08-19.
