We are looking for a motivated student who would like to become part of the lab as a student research assistant (Studentische Hilfskraft, SHK), starting in August / September 2023 (duration: 12 months).

The SHK will be associated with the Excellence Cluster Science of Intelligence and will partly work at Technical University of Berlin (Charlottenburg; Marchstraße 23) and partly at the lab’s main facilities at the Department of Psychology at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (Adlershof; Rudower Chaussee 18)

To be a successful candidate, you should study psychology, neuroscience, or a related field, and have a strong interest in the research topic of the group: active perception and cognition. The positions provide an opportunity to get involved in a broad range of tasks related to research (and, occasionally, teaching). In particular, you can gain hands-on experience in data acquisition using visual psychophysics, eye and motion tracking. Experience with Matlab or Python for experimental control and Matlab, Python, or R is not required but you will be exposed to it on the job. Importantly, you should speak German and English to communicate with study participants and lab members.

Here is the official announcement: 2113-09-2023
