Our research combines empirical methods from psychology with computational modeling, artificial intelligence, and human-computer interaction to answer fundamental questions about goal setting, goal pursuit, and cognitive growth in synergy with developing practical tools and strategies for supporting and promoting these essential cognitive abilities.<br class=""><br class="">In our <b class="">project on executive functions training</b> (project leader: Dr. Maria Wirzberger) we develop a computer-based training application that helps people to stay focused and avoid distractions in real-world study and work environments. This involves conducting field experiments and lab studies with the existing software prototype with different target groups and use cases (e.g., university and high school students, knowledge workers, participants with attention disorders).<br class=""><br class="">To support the next steps in this line of research, we are currently looking for a <b class="">researcher</b> (100%, pre- or postdoc) with a strong educational background in a relevant discipline such as cognitive or educational psychology, educational technology, cognitive science, human-computer interaction, or similar fields. The position requires solid prior experience in conducting and designing behavioral experiments and statistical data analysis<br class=""><br class=""><a href="https://re.is.tuebingen.mpg.de/jobs/researcher-position-pre-postdoc-on-executive-functions-training-m-f-d" class="">https://re.is.tuebingen.mpg.de/jobs/researcher-position-pre-postdoc-on-executive-functions-training-m-f-d</a> <br class=""><br class="">For interested students from relevant disciplines, we also offer the opportunity for <b class="">paid internships</b> (duration individually negotiable) with focus on conducting behavioral experiments or software development. <br class=""><br class=""><a href="https://re.is.tuebingen.mpg.de/jobs/internship-on-conducting-behavioral-experiments-in-a-project-on-executive-functions-training-m-f-d" class="">https://re.is.tuebingen.mpg.de/jobs/internship-on-conducting-behavioral-experiments-in-a-project-on-executive-functions-training-m-f-d</a> <br class=""><a href="https://re.is.tuebingen.mpg.de/jobs/internship-on-software-development-in-a-project-on-executive-functions-training-m-f-d" class="">https://re.is.tuebingen.mpg.de/jobs/internship-on-software-development-in-a-project-on-executive-functions-training-m-f-d</a> <br class=""><br class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The starting dates for all positions are flexible.
