About this position

Tilburg University’s School of Social and Behavioral Sciences is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher to join Matti Vuorre’s research group in the Department of Social Psychology. The project is funded by a European Research Council Starting Grant and focuses on a timely question in contemporary psychological science: how human attention relates to digital technology use.

The research examines whether digital technologies, and the ways people use them, shape attention; whether differences in attention influence technology use; and whether attention can be changed by modifying technology habits. A further aim is to understand how well self-report measures reflect attentional abilities in the context of digital life.

The postdoctoral researcher will contribute to designing, executing, and communicating quantitative studies on these questions. The work may span theoretical, experimental, modeling, and causal-inference approaches, with opportunities to lead independent studies while collaborating closely with the project team.

Methodologically, the project combines experiments, surveys, digital trace data, and longitudinal and intervention studies. The position sits within a research environment that emphasizes interdisciplinary psychological science, quantitative rigor, and open and collaborative research practices. The Department of Social Psychology offers specialized facilities including research cubicles, group rooms, eye-tracking equipment, and thermal-imaging cameras, and it hosts regular colloquia with visiting speakers.

The role is embedded in a broader department that studies digitalization, diversity, emotions and well-being, and decision making, within a university known for social science and humanities research. The postholder will also contribute to teamwork and support junior researchers while developing new research ideas.

Funding details

Funded by a European Research Council Starting Grant; full-time postdoctoral salary €4,925—€5,264 gross per month.
