The Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics is seeking a
qualified

 

Postdoctoral Researcher

 

in the field of cognitive and behavioral sciences for the investigation
of human-human and  human-computer interaction.

 

The position is part of the European project JAST, in which seven
renowned European universities in the areas of experimental psychology,
neuroscience, computer science, and engineering, collaborate to build
jointly-acting autonomous systems, integrating insights from cognition,
neurobiology and dialogue during human joint action (more information at
www.euprojects-jast.net <http://www.euprojects-jast.net/>  ).

 

The successful candidate will work within the framework of this project
and investigate various aspects of perception, attention, and action
during the interaction of two or more people, employing a variety of
psychophysical and behavioural techniques. For this, the department has
available high-fidelity virtual environments as well as a large walking
arena equipped with state-of-the-art tracking systems. The successful
candidate will join a dynamic group of psychologists, physicists,
biologists, and computer scientists working together on human
perception, computer vision, and human-computer interaction. Further
information about the research environment can be found at the website
of the institute (www.kyb.tuebingen.mpg.de
<http://www.kyb.tuebingen.mpg.de/>  ).

 

The applicant is expected to have a doctorate degree in psychology,
biology, or related fields of cognitive and behavioural sciences. The
successful candidate should also have a solid background of experimental
research in human perception and action and/or a scientific background
in human-human or human-robot interaction. Informal inquiries can be
sent to Dr. Astros Chatziastros (astros.chatziastros at tuebingen.mpg.de ).

 

The position is available for two years with an option for an extension.
Salary is paid according to the German Public Service Scale (TVöD, up to
Group A14, depending on experience). 

 

The Max Planck Society is committed to employing more disabled
individuals and especially encourages them to apply. The Max Planck
Society aims to increase the number of women in those areas where they
are underrepresented and urges them to apply.

 

Candidates should send letter, curriculum vitae, reprints, and names of
three referees with the code "JointAction" to the following address
(electronic submission to jobs.agbu at tuebingen.mpg.de  is preferred):
