The Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin

(Date posted on this site: 12/02/2006)

The Center for Adaptive Behavior and Cognition at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin, under the direction of Gerd Gigerenzer, is seeking applicants for up to 3 two-year Postdoctoral Fellowships and up to 2 one-year Visiting Graduate Fellowships beginning on or after September 1, 2007. The Visiting Graduate Fellowships are intended for students currently enrolled in graduate programs.

Candidates should be interested in studying the cognitive mechanisms underlying bounded, social, and ecological rationality in real-world domains. Current and past researchers in our group have had training in psychology, cognitive science, economics, mathematics, biology, and computer science to name but a few. The Center provides excellent resources, including support staff and equipment for conducting experiments and computer simulations, generous travel support for conferences, and, most importantly, the time to think.

For more information about our group please visit our homepage or write to Dr. Lael Schooler (fellowships@mpib-berlin.mpg.de). The working language of the center is English, and knowledge of German is not necessary for living in Berlin and enjoying the active life and cultural riches of this city. We strongly encourage applications from women, and members of minority groups. The Max Planck Society is committed to employing more handicapped individuals and especially encourages them to apply.

Send applications (consisting of a cover letter describing research interests, curriculum vitae, 3 letters of recommendation, and up to five reprints) by January 10th, 2007 to Ms. Wiebke Moeller, Center for Adaptive Behavior and Cognition, Max Planck Institute for Human Development, Lentzeallee 94, 14195 Berlin, Germany.
