Looking for MSCA PF 2026 candidates in MSCA Postdoctoral hosting in New technologies design for assessment and intervention of older adults strengths

The Ageing & Wellbeing Lab brings together researchers specialized in the Psychology of Ageing. The group maintains active collaboration with a wide range of national and international research teams, contributing to a multidisciplinary and international research environment.

Through its different lines of research, the group analyses the psychological strengths and vulnerabilities of older adults, as well as those of their families and care professionals. This research is grounded in the development of psychometrically sound assessment protocols and in the design, implementation and evaluation of effective intervention programmes. The group’s aim is to deepen understanding of psychological reactions in later life, ranging from the development of disorders to the consolidation of positive psychological resources.

Current research interests focus on personal and social strengths in older adults, as well as on the influence of intergenerational relationships on psychological well-being.
