University of Southern Denmark - Department of Political Science

Theme: Determinants of political beliefs

At the Department of Political Science and Public Management, five PhD scholarships within the programme "Beliefs in Politics: Actors and Determinants (Elites, Frames, and Personalities)" are available for appointment for a period of three years as of October 1, 2010 or as soon as possible hereafter.

We look for candidates with a Master Degree in political science, political psychology or political communication (or a related field) who have distinguished themselves at the MA level and, preferably, have written a Master thesis about social, institutional, psychological and contextual determinants of political beliefs, attitudes, and behaviour.

We prefer applicants whose strengths lie within methods, quantitative and/or qualitative. Only candidates with top academic qualifications will be considered for enrolment. Applications must include a detailed description of the PhD project, including research question, theory, design and methods, and a work schedule.

The PhD scholarships are funded by the Danish government as "mobility scholarships" which means that candidates from the University of Southern Denmark are not eligible to apply.
