ph3Postdoctoral Researcher – ACTWELL (SNSF Grant No. ) /h3 pThe Computational Behavioral Science Lab at the University of St.Gallen, led by Prof. Dr. Clemens Stachl, is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher for the ACTWELL project. /p pACTWELL investigates how subjective well-being is expressed in and shaped by everyday behavior. The project combines large smartphone sensing datasets from Europe and the United States with behavioral logs, contextual data (e.g. mobility, outdoor time), and self-reports. Using interpretable machine learning, we study how activities, contexts, and personal characteristics relate to life satisfaction and momentary well‑being over time. /p h3We offer /h3 ul liCompetitive salary (F8) /li liaccess to unique existing datasets /li ligenerous conference and research funding /li liinternational collaborations (Stanford, LMU, SODAS) /li lia supportive research environment /li limentoring for competitive postdoctoral fellowships (SNSF, MSCA, Ambizione) /li lirelocation support with hybrid work options /li /ul h3Your tasks /h3 ul liCoordinate research activites in the ACTWELL project together with Prof. Stachl /li liLead one or more ACTWELL work packages, in particular the sequence and dynamics analyses /li liProcess and model high-dimensional, intensive longitudinal smartphone log data /li liDevelop and validate interpretable machine learning models linking behavior and context to well-being outcomes /li liPublish as lead and co-author in psychology, computational social science, and interdisciplinary outlets; present at international conferences /li liMaintain reproducible analysis pipelines and preregistrations, and prepare code and materials for open release in line with the project's SNSF Data Management Plan /li liContribute to privacy-preserving data handling and the lab's research ethics practice /li liCo-supervise doctoral and master's students; contribute to lab meetings and methods workshops /li /ul h3Your profile /h3 ul liPhD in psychology, computational social science, data science, cognitive science, statistics, computer science, or a related field, completed by the start date or with the defence scheduled this year. /li liStrong applied machine learning skills and fluency in R and/or Python /li liExperience with intensive longitudinal, sensing, or other high-frequency behavioral data, and with the measurement problems these data raise /li liPublication record appropriate to career stage, including at least one first-authored empirical paper /li liCommitment to open, reproducible research /li liExcellent written and spoken English /li /ul p"A place where knowledge is created" - As one of Europe's leading universities of economics and business administration, the University of St.Gallen (HSG), Switzerland, is committed to the education of over 10'000 students.
