My main interest is to uncover the roots of public opinion and affective polarization with a particular focus on ideology. I am a PhD candidate at Masaryk University, soon to join Aarhus University as post-doctoral researcher.
In the course of my research, I have been awarded an AKTION fellowship, a Fulbright fellowship, and the Jacques Rupnik Prize for the best PhD presentation. My dissertation research was published in European Journal of Political Research, Political Behavior or European Union Politics.
I used to be a Fulbright Fellow at Polarization Research Lab (Stanford, University of Pennsylvania, and Dartmouth) throughout the 2023/24 academic year and a visiting researcher at the University of Vienna in Spring 2023 and IPZ at the University of Zurich in Fall 2024. I also currently serve as a research secretary of the Czech Political Science Association.
My research spans across several subfields of political behavior, comparative politics and public opinion research, encompassing topics of political disagreement, polarization, political violence, but also attitude formation, attention to political issues, or comparative politics of Europe. If you are interested in any of these topics, do not hesitate to reach out at tadecel (at) gmail.com.
