About this position

RPTU Kaiserslautern-Landau invites applications for a four-year Research Associate position in the Department of Political Psychology at the Institute for Communication Psychology and Media Education (IKM) in Landau. The role is part of a German Research Foundation-funded international comparative project on the evaluation of political apologies.

The project investigates how people assess reactions by victim groups to apologies for collective violent crimes, why rejection of an apology may trigger moral devaluation, and which social consequences follow. The research addresses political psychology, collective injustice, intergroup relations, and the social meaning of public apologies.

The successful researcher will design and conduct studies using different approaches, including experiments and cross-national research, and will analyze complex quantitative data. They will present findings at national and international conferences, publish scientific articles in English, and develop research ideas within a supportive team with international connections.

The position provides substantial scope for independent research. The successful candidate is encouraged and explicitly supported to pursue a doctoral dissertation based on a self-developed question within the project or on a related topic.

Funding details

The position is part-time at 75% (29.25 hours per week), fixed-term for four years, starting April 1, 2027. Compensation is pay grade 13 under the German TV-L collective agreement (TV-L E13). Benefits include health promotion, family services, professional development, flexible working and home-office options, a job ticket, retirement provision, sports and fitness, and culture and leisure benefits.

What's required

Applicants must have successfully completed a university-level degree in psychology or an equivalent higher-education qualification, at least a Master's degree or equivalent and not merely a Bachelor's degree. Excellent knowledge of research methods and statistics is required, including experience using R; prior knowledge of multilevel models is advantageous. Applicants need excellent English skills, a strong interest in political-psychological research, and the ability to work independently, reliably, and thoroughly. Prior research and publication experience is advantageous. Applicants with severe disabilities or equivalent status should include supporting proof if applicable.
