KU Leuven stands as a premier academic institution in Europe, renowned for its cutting-edge research. As a founding member of LERU, KU Leuven has been ranked as Europe’s most innovative university and consistently places among the Top 10 European universities.
The media psychology lab at KU Leuven, formerly known as the School for Mass Communication Research, is a trailblazer in media effects research. Its mission is to provide robust evidence on the adverse and beneficial effects of media, offering insights into how media can be used to achieve socially relevant goals. Recent studies have focused on issues such as alcohol and drug abuse, sexuality and sexism, mental health, body image, sustainability, and sleep.
Under the leadership of Prof. Beullens, the lab conducts research on digital media use, media psychology, and health communication. Currently, there is an opportunity for a researcher to contribute to the final stage of a project conducted for Kom op tegen Kanker.
KU Leuven is committed to fostering an inclusive, respectful, and socially safe environment. We celebrate diversity in all its forms and believe that open dialogue and varied perspectives are crucial for a thriving research and educational environment. We are dedicated to equal opportunity and acknowledge the impact of historical inequalities. We do not tolerate discrimination based on gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, age, ethnic or national background, skin colour, religious and philosophical diversity, neurodivergence, employment disability, health, or socioeconomic status.
