A central feature of our feelings and emotions is that they change and fluctuate over time.  A thorough understanding of the time dynamics of emotion is therefore of key importance, both for advancing our theoretical knowledge about the nature of emotions and to obtain a more profound insight into their role in psychological well-being and psychopathology. This postdoc position is part of a larger longitudinal, multi-method project that aims to examine the patterns of emotional change that people experience in their daily lives, the processes that underlie such patterns, and, ultimately, how these patterns contribute to shaping their well-being or maladjustment.

The successful candidate will collaborate with the supervisor and other team members in a research program aimed at understanding the process basis and predictive role of emotion dynamics in psychological well-being and maladjustment. The delineation of the specific research topic within the program will depend on several factors, including the expertise of the selected candidate.

Tasks include survey of relevant international literature, collecting data through experience sampling studies and experiments, performing data analyses, and communication of results through papers in international journals and presentations at international conferences.
