Dr. Sebastian Jäckle

I am Assistant Professor (Akademischer Rat) at the University of Freiburg, Department of Politics.

In my current research I focus on the following topics:

(1) GIS in political science,

(2) the carbon footprint of science conferences,

(3) right wing terrorism,

(4) attitudes and survey reasearch, and

(5) appearance effects in elections.

I predominantly work with quantitative methods like Event-History-, Multi-Level-, Sequence- or Network-Analysis.

On this website you can find further information about my current research and teaching as well as my publications.
