Postdoctoral Position in Embodied Cognition and Learning in Zürich

100%, Zurich, temporary

The Institute for Learning Sciences and Higher Education, chaired by Prof. Manu Kapur, is inviting applications for a postdoctoral position in embodied cognition and learning.

The Institute for Learning Sciences and Higher Education is seeking a motivated scholar for a postdoctoral position at the intersection of learning sciences and embodied cognition, encompassing the umbrella situated cognition theories of embodied, embedded, and enactive cognition. This position is not tied to a particular project. As a postdoctoral researcher, you will develop your own and collaborative research projects within the context of higher education. You will work together and explore synergies with an interdisciplinary team of experts investigating human learning from a variety of perspectives: behavioral and cognitive, social, and neural.

An ideal candidate will have a strong grounding in embodied cognition, a background in the learning sciences, and experience with a mixed-methodological toolkit.
