looking for a PostDoc to join our team starting as early 2026 (2 years, pay scale: E13 TV-L, 100%). After 10 very fun and successful years in Frankfurt, the SGL has moved to the LMU in Munich, where we now keep busy studying scene perception, object memory
and visual attention in real-world scenarios like Munich’s famous beer gardens or its pristine mountain lakes.</span><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span lang="EN-GB">In the lab, we use a variety of methods, including psychophysics, stationary, real-world and VR eye-tracking, EEG, as well as computational modelling approaches. Over the past years, we have become experts in studying what we call “scene
grammar”, the rules that govern real-world environments. But we also cherish other theoretical views and methodological approaches… as long as they continue to help us MAKING A SCENE! Most importantly, you would be joining an international as well as super
enthusiastic, fun, and warm-hearted team of great minds and personalities here in the lab.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

The Adaptive Mind, we (25 PIs and their labs) combine state-of-the-art behavioral and neurophysiological research with approaches from psychiatry and clinical psychology, as well as quantitative analyses and computational modeling using artificial intelligence,
machine learning and robotics. Our goal is to measure and model the continuous adaptation of natural human behavior in a constantly changing and unpredictable world. Further details on the cluster project can be found here: </span><span lang="DE"><a href="https://theadaptivemind-excellencecluster.de/" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(150, 96, 125);"><span lang="EN-GB">https://theadaptivemind-excellencecluster.de</span></a></span><span lang="EN-GB">.
In particular, the PostDoc will push the frontiers on studying real-world search in 3D virtual reality scenarios using a combination of eye tracking and (mobile) EEG recordings. We heartily welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds who bring passion and
advanced skills to this project and the Cluster as a whole.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<b><span lang="EN-GB">Your profile:</span></b><span lang="EN-GB"> You should have obtained an PhD degree in a relevant field (e.g., Psychology, Neuroscience, Computer Vision, Cognitive Science, ...) and share interest in the core research areas described above. You
should have extensive experience with eye/body tracking in 3D/VR experiments and ideally with carrying out and analyzing state-of-the-art EEG experiments (e.g. time-frequency analyses, decoding approaches). A good foundation in programming (e.g. Python, Unity)
and statistical methods (e.g., Bayesian approaches, LMMs etc) would help hit the ground running</span><o:p></o:p></p>
