Applications are invited for two postdoctoral research associate posts for 4 years (with the possibility of extending to 5 years) at Aston University within the School of Psychology. The successful applications will join Dr James Reynolds’ new UKRI-funded grant titled “Maximising public support for health policies” in which the research will investigate why the public support or oppose public health policies.

We are seeking a talented researcher who is interested in working at the intersection of social psychology, political psychology, and public health.
