April 2025 | We are hiring!

We are currently seeking a researcher for a 2-year, full-time position in our research project "SUCCESS: Gender-Gap in Political Endurance", led by Professor Ragnhild Louise Muriaas at the University of Bergen. The position is fully funded and will be based at the Department of Government, UiB. The researcher will join us - the SUCCESS team - and the national survey methods infrastructure  DIGSSCORE // KODEM.

The project investigates gendered patterns in political careers, with a particular focus on why women may have shorter political careers than men, and how this affects representation and democratic outcomes.

We are looking for applicants with a PhD in political science or a closely related discipline and with strong skills in survey research and quantitative methods. Experience with gender research and comparative approaches is an advantage, as is a collaborative and self-driven working style.

Main research areas: Gender and politics, political careers, representation, survey methodology, comparative politics

The position is for a duration of two years. The deadline for applications is 5 May 2025.
