The Hospital of the University of Munich, Germany, is one of the largest and most competitive university hospitals in Germany and Europe. 48 specialized hospitals, departments and institutions harbouring excellent research and education provide patient care at the highest medical level with around 11.000 employees.

The NEVIA Lab is dedicated to advancing the science of social interaction. The team investigates the neural and behavioural dynamics of social interaction, focusing on nonverbal communication, social cue processing, and interpersonal coordination. Using portable neurotechnologies, portable eye tracking, motion tracking, and computer vision methods, we study both typical development (with a strong focus on adolescence) and atypical social behaviours in clinical populations, including in autism, ADHD, and other conditions affecting social behaviour (e.g., chronic depression, Borderline personality disorder). Our interdisciplinary approach bridges social cognitive neuroscience, clinical psychology, and data science to improve the understanding and assessment of social functioning.

Scope of duties

Your role:

Conduct and support interdisciplinary research at the intersection of cognitive neuroscience, psychology, and portable technology
Support data analysis, method development, and clinical collaborations. Specifically, apply and analyse data from portable EEG (potentially fNIRS), portable eye-tracking, physiological wearables, computer vision, and related areas
Develop and implement advanced analytical approaches using programming and data science tools (e.g., Python, R)
Co-supervise and mentor PhD, MD, Master’s, and Bachelor’s students
Contribute to publications and grant applications to further advance research in the field
Develop your own research ideas, with the possibility of starting to build your own team
Potential for Habilitation, an advanced qualification in the German academic system that enables independent teaching and can serve as a pathway to professorship
