The Institute of Sociology at the University of Zurich aims to fill several research positions.
1 Doctoral Student (60%)
2 Post-Doctoral Researchers (75-100%)
We
are looking for 1 Doctoral Student (60%) and 2 Post-Doctoral
researchers (75-100%) interested in joining the newly founded
Professorship of Social Theory and Quantitative Methods of Prof. Dr.
Heiko Rauhut.
The group is interested in theory-guided
quantitative research on social norms, cooperation, experimental game
theory, analytical sociology, network analysis, stochastic actor network
models, sociology of science, survey methodology and statistical
modeling. The positions are funded by the SNSF Starting Grant “Social
norms, cooperation and conflict in scientific collaborations” (CONCISE),
the SNSF project “Coevolution of prosociality and networks: A
longitudinal, cross-country network survey in Swiss schools” and by the
University of Zurich. Applicants should hold a MA / PhD (or should be
close to completion) in Sociology or a related field (such as Behavioral
or Experimental Economics, Social Psychology, Political Science,
Statistics or Computational Social Science).
We are particularly interested in attracting candidates in the following 2 research areas:
1) Experimental and behavioral research on cooperation and social norms
2) Co-evolution of social networks and prosociality.
Details
of these research areas and the research profile of the professorship
is found at www.suz.uzh.ch/rauhut. Other research topics, especially in
the areas of experimental game theory and analytical sociology, are also
welcome, but should have a strong connection to the general profile of
the professorship.
We offer a stimulating, dynamic and
research-oriented environment. We are looking for creative, prosocial
and proactive candidates. Support in teaching and research activities of
the chair is expected. Post-docs are expected to support the chair in
supervision of PhD and MA students and in administrative tasks. After a
trial period, post-doc positions are initially limited to 3 years and
PhD positions to 4 years (with an extension to max. 6 years, subject to
funding).
Please send your application including a statement of
interest, CV, transcripts, 2 samples of written work and 2 letters of
recommendation or alternatively contact details of two referees in one
pdf file until January 15th, 2018 to Heiko Rauhut via
jobs@soziologie.uzh.ch.
