Research project and scientific impact

• The successful candidate will strengthen the team by working on any innovative research topic within the field of occupational and organizational psychology or ergonomic psychology, considering the risks and resources associated with transformations and innovations in the workplace to improve the quality of life and working conditions of employees.
• A special attention will be paid to theoretical openness and multi-methodological competence, including mastery of quantitative and qualitative data analysis.

• The successful candidate must have experience (as first author) of publishing in media with a wide international audience. They must have at least one publication in a leading psychology journal or generalist journal on a topic relevant to the discipline. Particular attention will be paid to the consistency of publications with the speciality targeted by the recruitment.
• Research experience outside the thesis laboratory — during the PhD, post-doctorate or activity in another structure — conducted with teams other than those involved in the thesis will be considered an asset.
• The successful candidate should also demonstrate involvement in international networks (i.e., international collaborations, membership of major associations in the discipline) to contribute to the internationalisation and excellence of research.
• In the long term, the successful candidate may (co-)supervise doctoral theses.
• A good knowledge of and willingness to implement open science practices (e.g. pre-registration, data sharing, etc.) are expected. The adoption of these practices (where the type of research allows) will also be highly appreciated.
