Ph.D. Student and Post-doctoral fellow Positions in Health Communication

The Institute of Communication and Health at the University of Lugano 
(Università della Svizzera italiana), Switzerland invites applications 
for a Ph.D. student position as well as for a Post-doctoral Fellow 
position in the Faculty of Communication Sciences. Acceptance includes 
funding of tuition and stipend for three years (contingent on 
satisfactory progress). The Post-doctoral Fellowship is also available 
for three years and salary is competitive and dependent on experience 
and qualifications. Funding is provided through research grants from the 
Swiss National Science Foundation focused on addressing problems arising 
from limited health literacy and patient empowerment, including misuse 
of prescription medications (Dr. K. Nakamoto), vaccination refusal and 
older patients’ participation in health care (Dr. P. Schulz).

We are particularly interested in students with backgrounds in 
communications, psychology, and related disciplines. Application reviews 
will begin April 15th, 2014 and continue until the positions are filled. 
Accepted students will be joining an active research group including 
three core faculty members, six post-doctoral fellows, and eight current 
Ph.D. students. The Institute of Communication and Health has a growing 
international reputation for its research on health communications and 
has active collaborations with several universities in Switzerland, the 
European Union, and the United States.

Interested applicants should send a letter of interest describing 
research and career interests, curriculum vitae, undergraduate 
transcript, and at least two academic letters of recommendation to:
