We work in a highly multidisciplinary environment collaborating with researchers from different fields to achieve a complete understanding of the factors influencing perception and behavior.

About the position
As a researcher at RISE you will be working with a range of different research and development projects as well as carrying out industrial consultancy projects in perception, consumer behavior and market analyses for different kinds of materials and products. Your work will include, among other things:

• Meeting with industrial clients to bring in new projects

A large part of the work includes contacts with industrial partners, and it is important that you feel comfortable with this. You either have a PhD in psychology, behavioral economics or marketing or several relevant years of experience in the area. Industrial experience is meritorious. The position occasionally includes evening work as well as some travels, nationally or internationally.
