We are pleased to share that we have up to three, Postdoctoral Research Fellow positions available from 1 September 2024 until 31August 2026.
The three positions are funded by the European Research Council (ERC) and linked to the ERC Advanced Grant Project “Behavioural Principles of Large-Scale Cooperation” (PRINCIPLES). PRINCIPLES is directed by Prof. Simon Gaechter in collaboration with the Centre for Decision Research and Experimental Economics (CeDEx) at the University of Nottingham.
The major goal of PRINCIPLES is to combine insights and methods from economics, sociology, and moral and social psychology into a novel, experimentally tested, framework thereby making a major step forward in the creation of a unified science of human cooperation. Successful applicants for this role will therefore be able to demonstrate an interdisciplinary research interest in the topics of voluntary cooperation, social norms, and social preferences.
