Moral Agency in Election Campaigns (ELECT) is a project funded by the European Research Council (2023-2028). It aims to understand the normative attitudes and decision-making practices of key actors that animate the electoral process, how those attitudes and practices are shaped by different institutional and regulatory contexts, and the significance of these interactions for electoral democracy. To this end, electoral candidates, campaign professionals, journalists and citizens will be studied across four countries: Germany, Italy, the UK and the USA. 
Three experienced researchers (post-PhD) are being recruited to work together with the Principal Investigator for the first three years of the project. In line with the criteria outlined below, team selection will seek to optimise a mix of linguistic competence, methodological skills, substantive knowledge and research experience. 
This is a research focused role, where you will conduct a specified programme of research supported by research training and development under the supervision and direction of a Principal Investigator.
