Stuttgart, Deutschland Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems Vollzeit

The Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (MPI-IS) conducts research to understand the principles of perception, action, and learning in natural and artificial systems that successfully interact with complex environments.
The and the at the institute’s Stuttgart site are looking for a capable new team member to support our collaborative Grassroots research project “Solving the Puzzle: a Multimodal Study of Diverse Leader Emergence” as a
Student Assistant (HiWi) f/m/div
About the project
This project investigates the dynamics of leader emergence and collaboration within diverse teams. By recruiting participants from varied backgrounds, the study focuses on how individuals interact, collaborate, and assume leadership roles in time-pressured puzzle-solving scenarios. Advanced technologies including motion capture, physiological monitoring, and speech analysis are employed to capture a wide array of data about the participants’ activities, from physical movements to emotional responses. We seek to understand the nuances of team dynamics, exploring how diverse teams communicate, handle stress, and allocate roles under pressure. By analyzing both the behavior and the physiological responses recorded in this study, we aim to model the process of leader emergence in diverse groups, providing valuable insights into the interplay of individual traits, team collaboration, and leadership in challenging environments.
Roles & Responsibilities
The primary responsibility of the student assistant will be to accurately annotate audio and video recordings from the study, using established coding methodologies and software to transform the collected raw data into meaningful insights. Additional possible tasks that the student assistant may have the opportunity to perform include:

- Recruitment of study participants
- Assistance in conducting the experiment
- Debriefing the participants after the experiment

Education & Experience
We are looking for a talented student pursuing a bachelor’s or master's degree in Management, Psychology, Economics, Human-centered Engineering Design, Computer Science, or related fields.
**Applicants should**:

- Have high motivation
- Have good oral and written communication skills in English
- Be currently enrolled at a university in Germany
- Want to work in an international and interdisciplinary research environment
