UNIVERSITY: University of Copenhagen     DEPARTMENT: Public Health

The Self, Health, and Romantic Processes (SHaRP) group seeks to examine how relational factors impact mental health and health behaviors. We recently received grant funding to develop a better understanding of perceptions of IPV as well as the intra-personal and interpersonal factors that lead people to become violent in their romantic relationships (see description below). Data suggests that up to 28% of Danish women and 12% of Danish men experience intimate partner violence (IPV) at some point in their lives, and international data suggests that the numbers might be even higher; it is internationally acknowledged that these numbers likely underestimate the prevalence of IPV, depending on how IPV was measured. The research and clinical practice literature is wrought with inconsistencies regarding definitions and measurement of IPV, and lay persons’ perceptions of what is IPV are even less clear.

The project is a collaboration between Camilla S. Øverup, associate professor of medical psychology at Department of Public Health, University of Copenhagen, and Angelo M. DiBello, assistant professor at the Center of Alcohol & Substance Use Studies and the Applied Department of Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology, Rutgers University, USA. In addition to us, the team will consist of a part-time student assistant, a phd student, and the postdoc.

Your job
You will be part of multiple ongoing projects that are all centered around intimate partner violence conceptualization and measurement, from both an expert and a lay-person perspective. The work will include 1) a (qualitative) focus group study that will be used to explore lay person understanding of what IPV is as well as when and what is it not IPV (e.g., does it vary by type of violence, frequency of violence, gender of victim/perpetrator), and 2) a quantitative normative documentation study that will be used to assess the extent to which individuals view certain violent behaviors as normative, given the relationship and situational context.

You will aid in study planning, participant recruitment, data collection and (qualitative) analysis, and manuscript writing. It will also be possible to get experience with grant writing, as well as (quantitative and/or qualitative) data analysis. These tasks will be executed in collaboration with and under mentorship of Camilla S. Øverup and Angelo M. DiBello. As part of the position, you may also be required to teach within the course offerings covered by the Section of Environmental Health.

Profile
We are looking for a highly motivated and enthusiastic scientist with the following competencies and experience:

Essential experience and skills:
• You have a PhD in psychology, sociology, public health, or related field.
• You are highly experienced in academic writing, as demonstrated by scientific publications.
• You have an active interest in research and policy around romantic relationships and/or intimate partner violence.
• You have a thorough understanding of data analyses, with demonstrated statistical data analysis OR qualitative data analysis experience.
• Proficient communication skills, particularly excellent English skills written and spoken.
• Ability to work in interdisciplinary and multi-national teams, but also to work independently.

Desirable experience and skills:
• Danish language proficiency
• Experience in grant writing

UNIVERSITY: Ghent University     DEPARTMENT: RE-CONNECT Interuniversity Research Consortium

The RE-CONNECT Interuniversity Research Consortium is currently hiring four fully funded 4-year PhD candidates on the topic of emotional connectedness. The 4 PhD student positions that are currently open are the following:

1) Position 1: Statistical methods for capturing Emotional Connectedness (position at KU Leuven; principal advisor: Eva Ceulemans) The aim of this PhD project is to develop, evaluate and apply new time series models for studying whether and how emotional connectedness in close relationships fluctuates across time in daily life and in the lab. At the same time, attention will be paid to designing future longitudinal studies (e.g., their sampling scheme) such that the models can be estimated optimally. Finally, we will develop open source software and apps (building on for instance R) to allow other researchers to use the new sample size calculation methods and time series models. Further information about this position can be obtained from Eva Ceulemans.

2) Position 2: Emotional Connectedness in couples (position at UGhent; principal advisor: Lesley Verhofstadt) This PhD project will focus on the dynamics of emotional connectedness in intimate relationships. First, the idea will be tested that the dynamics of emotional connectedness in couples can be understood from relationship goals that are being pursued (e.g., independence vs. interdependence). Second, the predictive validity of different types of emotional connectedness dynamics for individual and relational well-being will be examined. A combination of ESM and observational lab methods will be used. Further information about this position can be obtained from Lesley Verhofstadt.

3) Position 3: Cultural differences in emotional connectedness (position at KULeuven; principal advisor: Batja Mesquita) The focus of this PhD-project will be on establishing and understanding cultural differences in the dynamics of emotional connectedness. We expect that these dynamics can be understood from cultural differences in relationship goals; and that the dynamics associated with the highest wellbeing are different for different cultures. In this project we will closely collaborate with researchers at the UGhent and the VUB to study couples and leader-follower dyads respectively. The cultural comparison will involve Belgium and Japan for the couples, and Belgium and China for the leader-follower research. For this position, proven interest in and experience with different cultures, or with these cultures in particular, is an advantage. Further information about this position can be obtained from Batja Mesquita.

4) Position 4: Emotional connectedness in mental health (position at KULeuven; principal advisor: Peter Kuppens) In this Phd project, we aim to study the role of interpersonal emotional processes and connectedness in the etiology, maintenance, and recovery of mood disorder. While most existing psychopathology research focuses on intrapersonal factors and mechanisms, in this Re-Connect project we strive to uncover how mood disorder and its symptoms is at least in part a function of the way emotions are exchanged and shared or not shared between people. As such, we aim to elucidate how personal well-being and symptoms of individuals suffering from mood disorder develop and manifest in close relationships. The Phd research involves the re-coding and -analyses of existing data and the collection of new (lab and daily life) data both in healthy and mood disorder diagnosed individuals and their significant others. Further information about this position can be obtained from Peter Kuppens.
