    Default job background
    Beschreibung

    This interdisciplinary DFG project "Combining Surveys and Digital Tracking Data for Mental Health Research from a Computational Social Science Perspective (COSDIMH)" focuses on notable methodological challenges in measuring the relationship of mental health (MH) and digital media use (DMU). We aim to foster innovation by focusing on combining different DMU and MH measures in survey data and digital tracking data. We compare measures within and across surveys and digital tracking data to analyze their validity and reliability. We examine the short-term dynamic interaction between DMU and MH measures by combining different measures from multiple surveys and digital tracking data. Finally, we analyze the causality of the relationship between DMU and MH in an experimental setting and implement personalized interventions. We identify best practices, methods, and potential pitfalls for such combinatorial research approaches.

    The project will be conducted in close cooperation with Prof. Tobias Koch from FSU Jena and GESIS and is part of the DFG Infrastructure Priority Programme "New Data Spaces for the Social Sciences" (SPP 2431).

    You will be integrated into a well-organized, supportive and internationally networked team and work on an innovative and interdisciplinary research project. You will have a dedicated supervisor with relevant content and methodological expertise (Prof. Dr. E. Domahidi and Prof. Dr. T. Koch). You can expect responsible, interesting and varied tasks with a wide range of creative freedom. In addition, there is the opportunity for publication-based promotion as well as the offer of a wide range of further qualification opportunities in the professional and interdisciplinary field.
