“Writing is hard.” Thrilled to share that this simple idea led to a new paper in Political Analysis! Where most text methods focus on content, I test if expression is also effortful action. I find simple measures like character counts reveal attitudes and predict voting. cup.org/4cUmoXi 1/

It’s time to share that I’ve decided to move to a new postdoc position. In July, I’ll join the team of @gessler.bsky.social at @uni-hamburg.de. In my almost 2 years in Vienna, I grew as a scholar and person, and I’m deeply grateful to the people at @stawi-univie.bsky.social who made this possible.
Now, I’m ready and excited to start something new. Part of this “something” will be my project on how citizens understand their role in democracy during challenging times. It’ll be in Hamburg where I’ll conduct this project, for which I’ll share a call for a PhD-position very soon. Watch this space.
- who? I’m searching for someone who brings relevant experience, is driven, and wants to pursue a PhD. If you’re not sure whether you fit, reach out to me or just apply : )
