The research group for Theoretical Cognitive Science of Prof. Dr. Dominik Endres at the Department of Psychology, Philipps Universität Marburg, Germany, is currently accepting applications for a  ***  Postdoctoral Researcher **** We expect the successful applicant to independently develop, implement and execute virtual reality experiments for  the validation  of (deep)  learning  and  Bayesian models  of  human behavior  and perception and/or to develop,  implement  and analyze these  models.  Contributions  to scientific publications and regular and active participation in the CRC’s scientific program are required. More details about the project's research directions can be found in these publications: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3355401 https://jov.arvojournals.org/article.aspx?articleid=2678770 https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7829376 https://psycnet.apa.org/doi/10.1037/rev0000330  The position is offered for a period of 4 years, if no former times of qualification need to be considered. The starting date is as soon as possible. The position is full-time with salary and benefits commensurate with a public service position in the state Hesse, Germany (TV-H E 13). The position is a part of the project C6 (sensorimotor primitives, collaboratively supervised by Prof. D. Endres, Prof. A. Schütz and Prof. A. Schubö) of the DFG-funded  *** Collaborative Research Center CRC/TRR 135 “Cardinal Mechanisms of Perception” *** More Information on the CRC can be found at http://www.allpsych.uni-giessen.de/sfb/index_en.html. Formal requirements are a qualified degree (diploma, master or equivalent) in psychology, cognitive science, computer science, engineering or physics (Master, Diploma, or comparable), a completed or nearly completed PhD as well as demonstrable programming experience in a high-level language, e.g. Python. We expect you to be interested in the topic of the project (to be documented in a motivation letter (1 page max), in which you may refer to prior experiences, for instance, a thematically pertinent thesis, student research assistant positions, etc.), developing virtual-reality scenarios and technology for research purposes as well as quantitative modelling. Advantageous qualifications are prior exposure to machine learning, Bayesian statistics, experience with human behavioral experiments as well as willingness to acquire basic German language skills.  The full job advert can be found at https://www.uni-marburg.de/de/universitaet/administration/verwaltung/dezerna... Please send your application (including a project-specific motivation letter in English, relevant diplomas, curriculum vitae and contact details of two potential referees) mentioning reference no. fb04-0010-wmz-2022 only as a single PDF file to dominik.endres@uni-marburg.de, before 15.04.2022.  Feel  free  to  contact Prof.  Dr.  Dominik  Endres, mailto:dominik.endres@uni-marburg.de for  more information. -- Prof. Dr. Dominik Endres Theoretische Kognitionswissenschaft - Theoretical Cognitive Science FB 04 Psychologie Tel: 06421-28 23818
