Postdoctoral Researcher/Scientific Collaborator in Zürich

The Chair of Organizational Behavior (Department of Management, Technology and Economics (D-MTEC)) has an opening for a Postdoctoral Researcher/Scientific Collaborator (Oberassistent).

Our chair investigates social behaviour, including goal-pursuit processes, social perception, and leadership. Much of our research examines how the experience of social power, mindset priming, and affect influence these processes.

Our approach integrates theory and methodology from social-cognitive psychology, organizational psychology, and psychophysiology. To address our research questions, we conduct laboratory, online, and field research using self-report measures, computer tasks, behavioural coding, eye-tracking, and psychophysiological methods such as electroencephalography (EEG) and electrocardiography (ECG).

You are expected to conduct independent research on relevant topics linked to the group’s research. You will be required to present your research at national and international conferences, contribute to group tasks and activities, and publish research findings in international peer-reviewed scientific journals.

• You should hold a Ph.D. degree in psychology, organizational behavior, neuroscience, or related fields and have an outstanding academic record and professional integrity.
• We seek a self-motivated, team-minded individual with strong methodological and statistical skills.
• Knowledge of programming software (e.g., Matlab, E-prime, DmDX) and statistic software (e.g., SPSS, R) is expected and knowledge in computational modeling, EEG/ERP measurements, and/or experience in field research is highly advantageous.
• German language skills are not required, but proficiency in English is mandatory.
• The position will begin at an agreed upon date.
