Researcher Position (equivalent to Associate Professor) in Cognition & Decision Making, Berlin

The Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin is looking for

Research Scientist in Cognition and Decision making

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 research scientist positions at ranks equivalent
to an assistant and associate professor. The positions are for 2 years
(with the option to be renewed for up to 6 years) beginning August 2006,
but earlier or later start dates are possible.

Salary depends on experience.

Candidates must have a PhD and 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.
Except for mentoring doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows, there are
no teaching requirements.

For more information about our group please visit our homepage at
http://www.mpib-berlin.mpg.de/abc or write to Dr. Lael Schooler
(schooler@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.
