About this position

This postdoctoral position is based in the Department of Psychology at Umeå University and is part of the research project The social foundation for acceptance of climate adapted forest management. The project examines how people in Sweden accept climate-adapted forest management across different groups, using perspectives from social identity and other collective processes such as social norms and shared goals.

The work combines survey data analysis with the design, implementation, and analysis of an experimental study. It is an independent, full-time research appointment intended to support the holder’s development as a researcher after the doctorate. The position sits within an active and creative research and education environment in the Department of Psychology.

The project is embedded in Wallenberg Initiatives in Forest Research (WIFORCE) in humanities and social sciences, and it is funded by the Marianne and Marcus Wallenberg Foundation. The research context brings together psychology, sustainability, and forest-related social science, with a strong emphasis on understanding acceptance processes in a climate and land-use context.

Further information is available from Louise Eriksson and Annika Nordlund.

Funded by the Marianne and Marcus Wallenberg Foundation as part of WIFORCE-HS; full-time postdoctoral appointment for two years.

What's required

Applicants must have completed a doctoral degree, or an equivalent foreign degree, in a relevant subject area such as psychology, behavioral science broadly defined, or research on social science perspectives on forests or sustainability.

Merits include the ability to work independently, take initiative, collaborate in interdisciplinary and international environments, documented ability to integrate behavioral science concepts into identity and acceptance research, experience writing scientific manuscripts, advanced quantitative methods and statistical analysis skills, and knowledge of Swedish.

Apply through the Varbi recruitment system. Submit a cover letter, CV with complete publication list, two-page research statement, doctoral degree certificate and/or transcripts, doctoral thesis, up to five relevant scientific publications, contact details for two referees, and any other relevant information.
