The Department of Psychology is a vibrant, inclusive workplace hosting an engaged group of faculty, postdocs and PhD students. The department has close collaborations with the Unit of Clinical Alcohol Research at SDU and Odense University Hospital, and its research covers a wide range of health-related topics and methodologies.

The position and the project

The focus of the position is on setting up and pilot-testing a text-messaging intervention for older adults who drink at health-hazardous levels in Denmark. The aim of the study is to investigate, whether different forms of text messages can help the target group with reducing their alcohol consumption. This intervention has previously been pilot-tested in the United States and we have a close collaboration with the work group behind the original intervention. We expect to apply for funding for a full RCT after a successful pilot-phase.

The successful candidate will join a research group with an expertise in addiction, interventions for problematic alcohol use in older adults, clinical psychology, and quantitative methods, led by Associate Professor Silke Behrendt.
