one or two Student Assistants (M/F/x)

This position is an opportunity for the assistant(s) to gain hands-on experience in conducting biopsychological research in a stimulating interdisciplinary environment. We are therefore seeking highly interested and self-motivated individuals to assist with the projects.

- possibly create stimuli for experiments;
- data management duties;
- data preprocessing and analysis (including some writing/modifying scripts, mostly in SPSS, R);
- write literature reviews and summaries;
- organize scientific literature;
- collaborate on writing scientific papers (co-authorship is possible in case of conceptual contributions).

**Our requirements**:

- current enrollment as an MSc student, preferably in Neuroscience, Psychology, Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field (exceptionally well-qualified Bachelor students may also be considered);
- interest in biopsychology, neuroscience, and dance research and a motivation to learn;
- very good English writing, speaking, reading skills
- possibly fluency in spoken German
- willingness to write meeting notes regularly and conscientiously
- Working language is English because many project members are international colleagues
- experience with online survey tools;
- very good computer skills;
- a solid methods background in statistics;
- experience with programming (e.g., R, Matlab, Python, R) is desirable;
- proficiency with Microsoft Office programs, such as Word, Excel, etc.;
- strong organizational and communication skills, capacity to work well as part of a team;
- dance experience is not a must but would be a plus;
- familiarity with eye behavioral and psychophysiological data collection helpful but not required.

**Our offer**:

- a friendly and cooperative working environment in an international, interdisciplinary research institute;
- a modern and well-equipped workplace in an attractive neighborhood with excellent infrastructure in Frankfurt’s Westend district;
- opportunity to write your master thesis in the context of the student assistant job;
