Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin - Comparative Political Behavior

António Valentim is a PhD candidate at DYNAMICS. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology (University of Coimbra), a Master’s degree in Social and Cultural Psychology (London School of Economics and Political Science), and was an exchange student at the University of Helsinki.

António works on political behaviour, with a focus on the politics of the environment as well as the relationship between political elites and voters. His PhD dissertation looks at how climate change and its politicisation influence the behaviour of voters and of political elites. António addresses these questions in established democracies and applying causal inference methods with observational data.

Before joining DYNAMICS, António was a research assistant at the Weizenbaum Institute, and in a project funded by the Portuguese National Institute for Rehabilitation.
