The position is part of the project Modeling Human Happiness (ModHap), which will run from 2022-2027. ModHap is an interdisciplinary project that integrates insights from ancient philosophy, philosophy of science and psychology in order to develop new empirically testable notions of well-being (or happiness). Our main objective is to develop new scientific models of happiness, which will provide vital knowledge about the sources of happiness, generate novel metrics for empirically measuring happiness, and lay the groundwork for innovative interventions aimed at improving and sustaining happiness. Our core hypothesis is that an integration of ancient conceptions and contemporary scientific investigations will generate novel models and understandings of human happiness. Four ancient theses about the nature of happiness structure the project: it is best understood (i) as fundamentally interpersonal or social, (ii) as inherently value-laden, (iii) as grounded in human nature and (iv) as a temporally extended dynamic activity. We will explore each thesis on three integrated levels: historically, conceptually and empirically. The candidate is expected to present a research project closely connected to the main project.

Postdoctoral Fellow – Behavioral Emotional and Social DifficultiesDepartment: The Department of Special Needs EducationFaculty: Faculty of Educational SciencesDeadline: Saturday, August 20, 2022

The project “Speaking up for the quiet ones” is a study in three phases exploring shy students’ experiences and their teachers’ use of strategies. The announced position will concentrate on phase two in the project.

The goal of phase two is to conduct a large-scale quantitative study to evaluate a complex theoretical model linking shyness among early adolescents to aspects of school adjustment. This model will denote a series of potential constructs and mechanisms that link shyness with school adjustment, including both mediated and moderated pathways.

Students will complete a series of self-report measures, all chosen for their strong psychometric properties, evidence of reliability and validity, and appropriateness for use at this age period. Measures of constructs that emerge from phase one will also be included. Validation of the model will contribute significantly to the literature on shyness during adolescence and the impact of shyness on school adjustment and attainment. It will demonstrate the role of mediating and moderating factors in school adjustment to teachers and other education professionals, showing that these factors do impact this age-group.

As a part of the project, the Postdoctoral Fellow will participate in the research group Behavioral Emotional and Social Difficulties.

Postdoctoral Research Fellow in bioinformatics/statisticsDepartment: Department of InformaticsFaculty: The Faculty of Mathematics and Natural SciencesDeadline: Wednesday, August 10, 2022

The researcher will be a main contributor to an EU-funded project on locally advanced laryngeal and hypopharyngeal squamous cell cancer. Treatment for such cancers may be treatment with certain forms of chemotherapy followed by radiotherapy for larynx preservation as an alternative to total laryngectomy. As not all patients benefit from this strategy, there is a strong need to define biomarkers for patient selection and treatment optimization. The project aims to develop a multimodal signature predictive of response to therapy and to define alternative pathways to be tackled in patients not responding to the current treatment. The project will collect and integrate a large series of clinically annotated data from cancer patients after treatment, to assess a multi-omic signature of response to treatment and to define alternative pathways. Transcriptomic analysis, molecular data on cell lines and radiomic evaluation will be main components of the signature development. Model predictions of response for individual/groups of patients allowing in-silico simulations of treatment response by means of patient-based inference of tumor biology, in particular for response to therapy, by exploiting combined genomics and radiomics; and a new multifactorial AI algorithms informing personalized treatment based on patient’s profiles will be employed. Validation will take the form of a phase II pilot trial using the developed models and signatures.
