Julia Partheymüller is a Senior Scientist at the Department of Government at the University of Vienna. She is a member of the Vienna Center for Electoral Research (VieCER), where she coordinates the survey data collection of AUTNES. She is also a member of the Research Network Data Science.

Her research focuses on democracy and public opinion in Austria, Germany, and comparative European contexts, with particular interests in elections, political communication, survey methodology, and quantitative methods. She examines how traditional and digital media shape political attitudes, perceptions and misperceptions, and voting behavior. Her work also addresses the science–politics interface, including science-related skepticism as well as epistemic and institutional trust. She has ample experience in large-scale survey data collection, survey design, survey experiments, and longitudinal data analysis.

She previously worked as a DAAD Lecturer at the University of Essex and was part of the German Longitudinal Election Study (GLES) team at the Mannheim Centre for European Social Research (MZES). She holds a doctoral degree in the Social Sciences from the University of Mannheim and studied Political Science at Free University Berlin and the University of Hamburg.
