Times Higher Education ranks the University of Luxembourg #3 worldwide for its “international outlook,” #20 in the Young University Ranking 2021 and among the top 250 universities worldwide.
The **Faculty of Humanities, Education and Social Sciences** (FHSE) brings together expertise from the humanities, linguistics, cognitive sciences, social and educational sciences. People from across 20 disciplines are working within the Faculty. Along with the **disciplinary** approach a very ambitious interdisciplinary research culture has been developed.
The faculty’s research and teaching focuses on **social, economic, political **and** educational** issues with the common goal of contributing to an inclusive, open and resourceful society. The FHSE offers six Bachelor and twenty Master degrees and a doctoral school providing students with the necessary knowledge and high-qualified skills to succeed in their future career.
Applications are invited for a PhD position at the University of Luxembourg within the context of a larger interdisciplinary project entitled** “The effects of childhood adversity on mental health and learning**” (CHAMP) funded by the Luxembourg National Research Fund (FNR).
The project aims to investigate developmental pathways from early adversity and trauma to mental health problems and educational disadvantage in care-experienced children and adolescents. It takes a longitudinal and multidisciplinary approach, examining the interplay among psychological, biological, and social-contextual aspects of mental health and educational outcomes in vulnerable children and adolescents living in alternative care. The project runs in collaboration with the Luxembourg Institute of Health (LIH), national partners from the alternative care sector and international partners from child and adolescent psychiatry.
**Your Role...**:
The successful applicants will closely collaborate within this larger project with each other as well as with a team of researchers from psychology and biology, as well as partners from within the consortium. Research participants will be children, adolescents, and care takers. The research will take place in residential care homes, day care facilities, and schools in Luxembourg. The position is embedded in the following two research groups and will be supervised by a joint team from those two groups:
The Cognitive and Socio-Emotional Development research group (Supervisor and Lab leader: Prof. Dr. Pascale Engel de Abreu). This PhD project will longitudinally explore executive functions in children with and without care-experience, with the aim to identify cognitive risk markers of language learning difficulties and poor mental health in children who experienced early adversity and trauma. Research methods will include interviews and questionnaires with parents and residential care workers, as well as experimental and standardized tests with children and statistical analyses of the data.
The Stress, Pain, and Gene-Environment Interplay research group (Supervisor and Lab leader: Prof. Dr. Robert Kumsta). This PhD project will focus on epigenetic markers of exposure to early adversity. It will address the question whether biological marks of early adversity and trauma are observable in care-experienced children and whether epigenetic marks are linked to specific subtypes of early adversity and trauma. Methods used include behavioural testing of children and adolescents, DNA methylation analysis, “epigenetic clock” analysis and investigation of inflammation-related polyepigenetic scores.
**Responsibilities**
- Complete a doctoral thesis in Psychology within four years
- Acquire in-depth knowledge in the respective fields of research through literature research, training programmes, exchanges with team members, and internal CHAMP team meetings
- Contribute to the development of methods and materials
- Assess children and work with care takers
- Collect, manage, and analyse quantitative data
- Effectively collaborate with all project partners
- Work closely with stakeholders including third-party and contracting partners to coordinate the study and facilitate communication with all involved parties
