Offer Description
Both junior researchers will work at the project titled “COVIDEU: The COVIDEU Project studies the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on support for the European Union” under the close supervision of Toni Rodon (www.tonirodon.cat)

Official number reference: Grant agreement No. VWSTF - PRINT00721
Research line: Comparative politics, Political Behaviour and Political Economy
The project COVIDEU studies how the pandemic shock has influenced EU support by citizens. Drawing from insights from political behaviour, social psychology and political communication, the project studies the impact of the pandemic through six work packages. The project is developed in five different EU-leading universities, including the UPF. The Barcelona team is in charge of WP2 “The effect of EU policy measures”. As part of this WP, the UPF team is developing a field experiment to study the effect of civic education measures on attitudes towards the EU.
More information about the project is available on its webpage: https://sites.google.com/view/covideuproject/
The RAs will liaise with the team at the UPF Ciutadella Campus (Mercè Rodoreda 24 Building), although their main tasks will be performed in different high schools around Catalonia.
Most of the supervision will thus be done through video-calls and emails.
