Beschreibung

Technische Universität Dresden (TUD), as a University of Excellence, is one of the leading and most
dynamic research institutions in the country. Founded in 1828, today it is a globally oriented,
regionally anchored top university as it focuses on the grand challenges of the 21st century. It
develops innovative solutions for the world's most pressing issues. In research and academic
programs, the university unites the natural and engineering sciences with the humanities, social
sciences and medicine. This wide range of disciplines is a special feature, facilitating interdisciplinarity
and transfer of science to society. As a modern employer, it offers attractive working conditions to all
employees in teaching, research, technology and administration. The goal is to promote and develop
their individual abilities while empowering everyone to reach their full potential. TUD embodies a
university culture that is characterized by cosmopolitanism, mutual appreciation, thriving innovation

At the
Faculty of Psychology, Institute of Educational and Developmental Psychology, the
Chair

of Lifespan Developmental Neuroscience offers a position as

Research Associate (M/F/x)***starting
October 1, 2023. The position is initially limited to 2 years with the option for extension. The
period of employment is governed by the Fixed Term Research Contracts Act
(Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz - WissZeitVG).

The Chair of Lifespan Developmental Neuroscience investigates neurocognitive mechanisms
underlying perceptual, cognitive, and motivational development across the lifespan. The main themes
of our research are neurofunctional mechanisms underlying lifespan development of memory,
cognitive control, reward processing, decision making, and multisensory perception. We also pursue
applied research to study effects of behavioral intervention, non-invasive brain stimulation, or digital
technologies in enhancing functional plasticity for individuals of difference ages. We utilize a broad
range of neurocognitive (e.g., EEG, fNIRs, fMRI, tDCS) and computational methods. The lab has several
testing rooms and is equipped with multiple EEG (64-channel and 32-channel) and fNIRs systems, as
well as eye-tracking and virtual-reality devices. The MRI scanner (3T) and TMS-device can be accessed
through the university's NeuroImaging Center. TU Dresden is a university of excellence supported by
the DFG, which offers outstanding research opportunities. Researchers in this chair are involved in
large research consortium and cluster, such as the DFG SFB 940 "Volition and Cognitive Control" and
DFG EXC 2050 "Tactile Internet with Human-in-the-Loop".

Tasks:
The position will involve research and teaching export courses on child and youth development
for students who pursue teaching degrees, esp. scientific teaching (2 bachelor-level seminars per
semester in German to students pursuing teaching degrees) and conduct research in the field of
lifespan developmental cognitive neuroscience. Topics for the seminars need to cover neurocognitive
chair.

Requirements:
university degree (Diploma/Master) and - if applicable - PhD degree in Psychology,
Cognitive Neuroscience, or Cognitive Science; experiences with cognitive neuroscience methods (EEG,
fNRIs, MRT); excellent language skills in German and in English.

TUD strives to employ more women in academia and research. We therefore expressly encourage
women to apply. The University is a certified family-friendly university and offers a Dual Career
equally qualified, those with disabilities or with equivalent status pursuant to the German Social Code
