Academic positions

Peter Valet studied social sciences at the University of Duisburg-Essen (diploma 2009). After completing his studies, he was invited for a research stay at the German Institute for Economic Research in Berlin. From 2010 to 2015 he was a research assistant in the working group "Social Structure and Social Inequality" at Bielefeld University. From 2012 to 2018 he also worked in the project "Structural Conditions of Justice Attitudes over the Life-Span" funded by the German Research Foundation. In this project he was, among other things, involved in the conception, realization, and data preparation of the LINOS panel survey. In spring 2015, he was invited for a research stay at Ohio State University. In 2017 he received his doctoral degree in sociology (first advisor: Prof. Dr. Stefan Liebig, second advisor: Prof. Dr. Jürgen Schupp). From 2018 to 2023 he was assistant professor ("Akademischer Rat") at the Chair for Sociology, especially Methods of Empirical Social Research at the University of Bamberg. In the 2020 summer term, he held an interim professorship on social inequality at Bielefeld University.

Since January 2024, Peter Valet is principal investigator in the project "Contextual Income Inequalities and Life Satisfaction: Mechanisms and Moderators" (COILS) funded by the German Reserach Foundation (DFG)
