Job Description

The Department of Criminology at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Crime, Security and Law, in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany (Director: Professor Jean-Louis van Gelder) is seeking to recruit for a PhD Position (f/m/d) Short Term Mindsets and Crime: An Experimental Approach from the earliest possible starting date.

Job Responsibility

  • Designing and conducting experimental empirical studies on the causes and consequences of short-term mindsets
  • Focus on the situational side of STMT: when, how, and for whom do specific contexts activate short-term mindsets, and how does this shape behavioral outcomes
  • Using innovative approaches (e.g., virtual reality studies, smartphone applications, and potentially mobile laboratory data collection in real-world settings) to experimentally manipulate situational triggers
  • Test whether situational triggers shift individuals’ momentary (state) STM, and in turn influence decision making
  • Investigate who is most sensitive to situational STM activation, and why.

Requirements

  • A completed (or are close to completing) university degree (master’s or equivalent) in psychology (e.g., social, developmental), pedagogy, (empirical) criminology, behavioral economics, sociology, or a similar discipline
  • A background in statistics
  • Experience with experimental research
  • A strong interest in crime research and novel research methods
  • A highly collaborative attitude (you value teamwork)
  • Excellent written and spoken English language skills
  • Excellent social and communication skills.

Nice to have

  • Speaking German is an asset but not a prerequisite for the position
  • Committed to open science and transparent research practices.

What we offer

  • Access to top-notch laboratory facilities
  • Access to exceptional specialist libraries and databases
  • Well-equipped workspaces
  • Comprehensive administrative and academic support
  • Collaboration with other researchers and international partners
  • Opportunities to design, convene, or participate in workshops, seminars, and conferences
  • Fully funded research position with no teaching obligations
  • Remuneration and social benefits based on the German Civil Service Collective Agreement (TVöD Bund), pay category 13, 65%
  • All mandatory social insurance contributions for health care, long-term care, unemployment, and retirement
  • Positive work-life balance
  • Flexible work options
  • Generous opportunities for personal and professional development
  • Free in-house German language courses
  • Several daycare spots at a nearby childcare facility.
