At the department of Mathematics and Computer Science, the Cognitive Systems Lab (Prof. Tanja Schultz) offers a position as


Postdoctoral Researcher (f/m/d) 

on the German federal salary scale TV-L 13 (100%), limited until March 31, 2026 (according to § 2 WissZeitVG) and to be filled as soon as possible.

The position will be situated at the interdisciplinary DFG Research Training Group (Graduiertenkolleg) on Computer Science, Information Systems, Psychology, Economics, and Management "KD2School: Designing Adaptive Systems for Economic Decisions”, which was established in 2021 by the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, the University of Bremen, and the Justus-Liebig University Gießen. An application for a second funding phase of the RTG from 4/2026 to 10/2030 is being planned; we are also working on options to extend the Postdoctoral Researcher position beyond March 2026. 


Project Description

With its main focus on the design of adaptive IT-based systems for supporting economic decision making in dynamically changing contexts, the research program of KD2School covers five research areas at the intersection of humans, IT technologies, and economic institutions: (1) technical cognitive systems and applied neurosciences, (2) individual decisions in everyday activities, (3) decision making in digital team work environments, (4) group decisions in online participation, and (5) addiction potentials. To examine these important cross-sectional topics, we use our unique LabLinking Framework to connect the laboratory infrastructures of our partners, the Karlsruhe Decision & Design Lab (KD²Lab), the Decisions in Immersive Systems Lab (DecIS-Lab) in Karlsruhe, and the Biosignal Lab of the Cognitive Systems Lab (CSL) at the University of Bremen. 

The PostDoc position is dedicated to maintaining and expanding the technical, technological, and methodological infrastructures of LabLinking. The position is jointly funded by the University of Bremen and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), which offers a great deal of flexibility. The PostDoc is encouraged to spend time at both Karlsruhe and Bremen for extended periods, working at the partner institutions with several principle investigators in a range of disciplines and thereby increasing their exposure to interdisciplinary work as well as extending their network. The successful candidate will do research on a virtual merger of the existing laboratories and so create a valuable methodological and content-related contribution to the multimodal cross-location. This opens up unique opportunities for doctoral candidates that would not arise without the Research Training Group. Additionally to the PostDoc position, we plan to hire a Doctoral Researcher (75%), who will collaborate closely on the LabLinking framework.


Your tasks:

  • Maintenance and extension of LabLinking, the virtual connection of the KD2School labs (this includes technological aspects as well as methodological and content contributions to the multimodal cross-site experimental research)
  • Designing and carrying out multi-site experiments within the scope of KD2School
  • Supporting the collection and analysis of biosignal data (especially, but not limited to, EEG and MRI data)
  • Preparing results for the scientific publication in journals and at conferences
  • Carrying out administrative tasks related to the graduate school (concerning the qualification program and event organization)
  • Mentoring graduate students and providing scientific guidance
  • Helping to coordinate scientific cooperations within the KD2School as well as with external partners


Requirements:

  • Successfully completed university degree (diploma/master's degree) and doctorate in computer science, neuroscience, neurocognitive psychology or closely related fields 
  • Research experience in collecting, processing, and analyzing biosignal data (including brain MRI data) 
  • Very good programming skills
  • Excellent communication skills and enthusiasm for working in an interdisciplinary team
  • The ability to handle multiple tasks simultaneously and to cooperate across disciplines and institutes
  • Very good knowledge of the English language


We offer:

  • Opportunities for independent research in a dynamic and highly interdisciplinary team 
  • A modern work environment with an open and appreciative atmosphere 
  • Support with further personal qualification 
  • The possibility to arrange flexible working hours
