About us

At the University of Graz, 4700 employees work together on future questions and solutions for the world of tomorrow. Our students and researchers take on the major challenges of society and share their knowledge. We work for tomorrow. Be part of it!

The position is located in work and organizational psychology, with a focus on occupational health psychology. Our research addresses current issues in work and organizational psychology, examining how working conditions influence employee experiences and behavior—and how employees, in turn, shape their working conditions.

A particular focus is on investigating dynamic and reciprocal relationships between work stressors and employee health and well-being. We use a broad range of empirical methods, including diary studies, experiments, and intensive longitudinal studies, and connect work and organizational psychology with perspectives from related disciplines.

We value independent research, methodological development, and an open and supportive working environment. The position offers the opportunity to develop your own research ideas, write a doctoral dissertation, and actively contribute to ongoing research projects.
