Postdoctoral Researcher (m/f/d)
(salary group TV-L E13, 100 %, 3 years)

Preferred start date: before April 1, 2024.

Duties and functions:
Intuitive information processing has clear advantages for human cognition but also undesirable outcomes such as stereotyping and other biases. These biases are reduced when people experience cognitive conflicts. In a DFG-funded project, we aim to test whether cognitive conflicts can reduce biases and increase fact-based decision-making – in the experimental and work contexts. The postdoctoral researcher will conduct experiments on the impact of cognitive conflicts in simulated and actual work settings.

Tasks include:
Developing research paradigms
Programming experiments and analyzing data
Presenting results at conferences and writing research articles
Supervising research assistants

Your profile:
PhD in social, I/O, or experimental psychology
Experience in experimental research
Interest in designing interventions reducing cognitive biases
Profound English language skills (spoken and written)

Please get in touch with Prof. Dr. Kai Sassenberg (ksa@leibniz-psychology.org) for further information on tasks or profile.
