Full Text of JOE Listing:

The Center for Humans and Machines (Director: Prof. Dr. Iyad Rahwan), Max Planck Institute for Human Development, is seeking applications for postdoctoral research positions (E 13 TVöD; 39 hours/week). Funding for the postdoctoral positions is available for two years, with possibility of extension for a third year. The positions are available starting September 1, 2019.

The Human Impact of Machines theme uses quantitative and causal inferential methods to investigate how humanity’s relationship with machines -- broadly conceived -- may be affecting the human system. We expect that the post-doctoral researchers (m/f/d) will conduct research into important topics in this area, in concert with the PI, in a self-driven, creative, and scientifically rigorous manner.

We are searching postdocs (m/f/d) with a strong interest and established expertise in applied statistics and the quantitative study of humans. The successful applicants are expected to hold a doctoral degree in applied statistics, economics, political science, psychology, sociology or a closely related empirical field.
