Assoc ProfessorThomas Däubler

I joined the School of Politics and International Relations at UCD in January 2020. This marked a return to Ireland, where I previously completed my PhD at Trinity College Dublin (in 2011). Prior to my appointment at UCD, I was a post-doctoral researcher at the Mannheim Centre for European Social Research (2012–2019) and the London School of Economics and Political Science (2011–2012).

My research focuses on comparative politics, with a particular emphasis on electoral systems, parliamentary behaviour, and political parties. Alongside comparative work across all EU member states, my research covers a wide array of European democracies, including Belgium, the Czech Republic, Germany, Ireland, and Sweden. Methodologically, I am especially interested in applied statistical modeling to derive insights from data.
