The Department of Psychology at the Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Southern Denmark, Odense, invites applications for a three-year PhD position within the research areas of clinical psychology and depression prevention. The Department of Psychology is a vibrant, inclusive workplace hosting an engaged group of faculty, post docs and PhD students. The department has close collaborations with the 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 evaluating the effectiveness of two types of online cognitive-behavioural therapy to prevent depression recurrence and on identifying individual characteristics that act as predictors or moderators of the therapies’ efficacy.

The position starts on the 15th of January 2024 for a three-year employment of 37 weekly hours.
We are looking for a highly motivated and ambitious candidate with an interest in the area of clinical psychology, depression prevention, and quantitative methods. Interest in and experience with interacting with people in a professional capacity (e.g., through an internship) are also required for this position, as the successful candidate will be expected to recruit and interview people with a history of depression.
