We are currently seeking a highly motivated individual to fill a two-year postdoc position (100% TV-E14). The position will be part of a ERC-funded project, “C4: Compositional Compression in Cognition and Culture,” which investigates how principles of information compression and compositionality shape human learning and knowledge transmission at three interconnected scales: individual cognition, group collaboration, and cultural evolution.
Your role will be to provide guidance and scientific support to three associated PhD researchers. You will have substantial freedom to develop and pursue your own research ideas aligned with the broader goals of the project, such as investigating individual learning, collaborative problem-solving, or cultural evolution through innovative computational and experimental methods. You will benefit from a vibrant interdisciplinary environment and strong collaborative networks, enabling you to further expand your expertise and advance your academic career, with ample opportunity to establish your own lines of inquiry.
You should have a PhD degree in a related discipline before starting this position and prior experience with computational methods is highly desirable. The start date is open to negotiation. Applications are due by July 8th, 2025 or until filled
