Three Year Post-Doctoral Position on Psychological Mechanisms of Meat Reduction at University of Zurich

We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher in the areas of personality, motivation, and adult development to work primarily with Christopher J. Hopwood and also with Alexandra M. Freund in the Department of Psychology at the University of Zurich (Switzerland).

Research will focus on psychological mechanisms of meat reduction using a multi-method approach spanning cross-cultural, experimental, behavioral, ambulatory, and self/peer report survey methods. Primary emphasis will be on data from two projects for which data have already been collected on cross-cultural variation on attitudes about animal welfare and processes relevant to animal consumption in close relationships, as well as a longitudinal study with a meat-reduction intervention component for which data collection will begin in Fall, 2023. However, there will also be opportunities to engage in other projects, including those initiated by the post-doc.

The post-doc will be able to strengthen their research portfolio as well as their teaching credentials by teaching a 2-hour weekly seminar per semester and assist in the supervision of masters and bachelors' theses.

The 100% appointment for three years, ideally starting August 1, 2023. The annual salary is based on the Swiss public pay scale (approximately 100,000 Swiss Francs), and standard University benefits are included.

The candidate should hold a Ph.D. in psychology and have extensive research experience in the fields of personality, motivation, and/or adult development, a demonstrated interest in meat reduction, very good methodological and statistical skills, publication experience in peer-reviewed journals, and a willingness and ability to work in a team.

International applications are strongly encouraged. English proficiency is a must; knowledge of German is helpful, but not required.

To apply, submit a cover letter (about 1 page) describing your interest in and potential approach to investigating meat reduction, as well as your general career goals, together with your curriculum vitae, and two of your articles in one pdf file to: hopwood at psychologie.uzh.ch<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fpsychologie.uzh.ch%2F&data=05%7C01%7Cclare.andrews%40stir.ac.uk%7C699947050e3c47b90fb408db25706af1%7C4e8d09f7cc794ccb9149a4238dd17422%7C0%7C0%7C638144936986879652%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=TctLEQNTiEpKQw%2BZeskDKG7%2B5Zb1WYqTLtxm2TamzKo%3D&reserved=0>.
