Researcher Jobs in Rottenburg am Neckar

Full-time, fixed term for three years, starting May 2025 or laterin the Lab led by Dr. Eva Specker.The research focus of the Lab is on aesthetics and learning. We aim to understand how aesthetic experiences can be a source of learning and what can be learned from aesthetic experience. The lab takes a blended approach that aims to transfer findings from controlled experimental laboratory settings to ecologically valid real-life informal learning settings with a specific focus on museums. The lab uses a variety of methods (e. g. eye-tracking, VR) covering the entire continuum from computer-based tasks to real-life engagement. With the aim of uncovering generalizable patterns and understanding which factors (e. g. the type of media people engage with) can influence and shape both the aesthetic experience and the learning process, we involve different disciplines in our research, with a focus on psychological approaches and methods.Your tasks : evelop an independent research profile to attract competitive third-party fundingInvolvement in on-going research projects and the supervision of (doctoral) students and support in the administrative management of the labDesign, implementation, evaluation and documentation of empirical studiesPresentation of research findings at national and international conferencesPublications as well as documentation of these findings in relevant academic journalsCollaboration on general institute-related activitiesYour profile : Strong interest in empirical aesthetics and its intersection with learning processes (in a broad sense)Experience in designing, planning, execution and analysis of empirical studiesProgramming knowledge (e. g.
