Felix Jäger

Felix Jäger is a Research Associate and doctoral student at the University of Mannheim's Faculty of Social Sciences, affiliated with the Chair of Sociology (Migration and Integration focus) and the Graduate School of Economics and Social Sciences (GESS). He contributes to the DFG-funded project 'Immigration, Integration, and Naturalization: New Immigrants, Policy Decisions and Citizens' Responses'.

His academic background includes:

• Doctoral studies in Political Science, GESS, University of Mannheim (2020–present)
• MA in Political Science, Otto-Friedrich University of Bamberg (2017–2019)
• BA in Political Science, Johann Wolfgang Goethe University, Frankfurt (2013–2017)

Jäger investigates citizens' attitudes toward civil liberties, immigration policy, and political communication, examining how electoral manifestos shape Twitter discourse, parliamentary polarization dynamics, and data visualization perception. His research employs survey experiments and content analysis to explore security-civil liberties trade-offs and democratic stability in Western contexts.

His 2022-2024 publications reveal consistent methodological rigor across immigration policy analysis, political communication studies, and civil liberties research, frequently co-authored with leading scholars like Marc Helbling and published in journals including Party Politics and International Migration Review.

Funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), Jäger's current project analyzes citizen responses to immigration policies through collaborative international research. While formal student advising isn't documented, his role involves significant teamwork within academic networks focused on migration and political behavior.
