Job Description:

This is a qualification position within the meaning of the German Academic Fixed-Term Contract Act (Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz, WissZeitVG), intended to support a doctoral project. The position is fixed-term for the duration of the doctoral procedure, initially for a period of up to four years. The doctoral topic involves investigating task-switching choices, with a focus on experimental studies on the costs (disutility) of task switching and on external factors that may influence them.

Job Responsibility:

  • Implementation of the research project within the Research Unit FOR6047
  • Planning and conducting experiments, and publishing the results in peer-reviewed scientific journals
  • Collaboration in the above-mentioned joint subproject with the University of Cologne
  • Participation in the institute’s self-administration

Requirements:

  • Completed academic university degree (Master of Science), preferably in psychology, sport psychology/sport science, or cognitive sciences
  • Interest in cognitive psychology and in experimental and computational research
  • Motivation to engage in academic work within a research group
  • Very good command of English, spoken and written

Nice to have:

  • Experience with at least one experimental method (e.g., computer-based studies, modeling, investigation of cognitive processes)
  • Knowledge in the area of task switching or decision research
  • Knowledge of statistics (e.g., JASP, SPSS) and/or experience with statistical programming languages (e.g., R, Python, MATLAB)
What we offer:

The German Sport University Cologne supports its employees in reconciling family and work responsibilities
