About this position
The Center for Wellbeing, Welfare and Happiness at the Stockholm School of Economics is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to develop an independent research line on how wellbeing can be measured beyond traditional rating scales. The project sits at the intersection of wellbeing science, psychometrics, and computational methods, with a particular emphasis on natural language processing and large language models.
The research will focus on open-ended responses, text, and speech as sources of information about how people experience and evaluate their lives. The postdoc will investigate what language-based assessments can reveal about wellbeing, how these approaches relate to established measures, and how they can capture differences between people and changes over time. The work is intended to contribute to the center’s broader research on wellbeing in Sweden and across countries.
Based at CWWH, the position offers the opportunity to work closely with center researchers and to co-author research outputs in an international and interdisciplinary environment. The role also includes building connections with international collaborators and contributing to the center’s outreach activities, including media, public lectures, and events. The setting is a research center embedded in the Stockholm School of Economics, with a strong emphasis on applied and policy-relevant wellbeing research.
