Online political hostility, such as online hate speech, constitutes a challenge to democracy through negative effects on political participation. The challenge is amplified by widespread apathy among witnesses. While research within political science has focused on the aggressors and explored how politically hostile behavior develops, much less attention is given to bystanders and the potential of pro-social bystander reactions to mitigate the negative impact of online political hostility.
This project advances a new research agenda, shifting focus from explaining the anti-social behavior of online political hostility to explaining pro-social bystander reactions and their consequences. Advancing the social-psychological study of bystanders, the project develops a new inter-disciplinary theory of pro-social bystander reactions, theorizing bystander decision-making in the context of online political hostility, and its short- and long-term consequences.
In addition to theoretical innovation, the project breaks new methodological ground by combining survey and behavioral experiments with a longitudinal design, and developing an innovative mock social media platform for bystander research.
The position as Senior Researcher is a tenured academic research position.

You will, in close collaboration with the directors of the national centres of science-based policy advice (DCA and DCE – please find more information here: dce.au.dk/en and dca.au.dk/en), be heading the Faculty’s activities in policy advice. You will also collaborate with leaders from the 10 departments, the Faculty’s administration, and the Dean’s office to develop an academically ambitious, competitive, internationally focussed and progressive faculty.

The positions are part of the project “The New Politics of The Housing Market” led by Associate Professor Martin Vinæs Larsen and funded by a grant from the Carlsberg Foundation.
The goal of the project is to understand how the housing market intersects with politics. Whereas the social sciences have long been interested in understanding the political dynamics of the labor market, the politics of the housing market remains relatively under explored.
Broadly speaking, the project will seek to develop and test theoretical models that help us understand how citizens form preferences for policies related to the housing market – such as property taxes, social housing and support for urban development –- as well as how the housing market shape citizens support for or opposition to these policies, and the parties that promote them. In particular, the project is interested in understanding which political forces have been unlocked by the massive increase in housing prices we have seen in and around major metropolitan areas in the EU and the US.
The position is a permanent position involving research and research-based teaching. Teaching is to be performed in cooperation with colleagues in the section of work and organizational psychology. The successful candidate is expected to participate on a daily basis in the Department’s day-to-day activities (lectures, seminars, workshops, etc.), to undertake supervision of students at Bachelor’s/Master’s level and PhD students as well as to contribute to the development of the Department’s study and learning environment. The successful candidate is furthermore expected to actively apply for external funding, to take on responsibility for research leadership, and to publish internationally. In addition, the successful candidate is expected to participate in the Department’s organizational and administrative tasks.
