Alice Ramos has a PhD in Social Sciences from Instituto de Ciências Sociais-Universidade de Lisboa (ICS-ULisboa), with the thesis “Human Values and Opposition towards Immigration in Europe”, where she analyses the impact of individual factors and social contexts on attitudes towards immigrants, on threat perceptions and on racial prejudice.

Currently, she is research fellow at the ICS-ULisboa. Her research interests are on the intersection of two lines of study: a) the impact of the articulation between individual factors (values and attitudes) and social structures on the development of discriminatory attitudes and prejudice, in a multilevel perspective ; b) methodologies of trans-national and longitudinal studies. She recently started a line of research dedicated to the development of values and discriminatory attitudes in childhood and adolescence.

She is National Coordinator of the European Social Survey-ERIC  and the European Values Study. At ICS-ULisboa, in 2009, she was co-founder of the Summer School on Advanced Methods in Data Analysis; between 2021 and 2023 she was a member of the Ethics Committee; currently, she is president of the Pedagogical Council and the Postgraduate Studies Committee.
