Dear colleagues,
The iSearch lab at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) is advertising a position for
a Doctoral Candidate or Postdoctoral Researcher. This is an open-topic position for
doctoral or postdoctoral researchers who wish to pursue their own research ideas within
the broad thematic areas of the lab. Rather than focusing on a predefined project, the
position offers the opportunity to develop and conduct independent research that aligns
with the lab’s interests in active learning, information search, decision-making, and
cognition from a developmental perspective.
The iSearch lab's research is dedicated to various facets of cognitive development and
learning processes in children. We employ a multidisciplinary approach that integrates
methods from psychology, education, and technology to understand and enhance
children's learning experiences, in particular the active learning strategies that
they employ in dynamically changing environments.
The successful candidate will collaborate closely with Prof. Ruggeri and an
interdisciplinary, international team, contributing to a creative and supportive research
environment. We especially welcome applicants whose research ideas or methodological
expertise bring new perspectives or complement existing projects, further advancing the
lab’s mission to understand how humans learn, decide, and explore.
The advertised doctoral position will be based in Munich, Germany, and will be funded for
a duration of 36 months for a Doctoral Candidate, or 24 months (with a possible extension
of 12 months) for a Postdoctoral Researcher. The deadline for application is 23 November
2024. The position can be filled from February to May 2026.
Please see the advertisement below for more details, and please share it with potentially
interested parties.
