The Department of Economic History, Institutions, Politics and World Economy at the University of Barcelona (UB) and the Institutions and Political Economy Research Group (IPERG) invite applications for a Postdoctoral Position in the project "Immigration and Ideological Activation in the Second Spanish Republic: Crisis, Mobilization, and Political Integration," led by Francesc Amat and funded by the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities (Consolidación Investigadora 2025, CNS2025-166672).

Its central hypothesis focuses on horizontal ideological transmission—how political ideas and behaviors spread peer-to-peer—as a key mechanism of political socialization.
