Dominik R Bach

We are looking to hire a highly motivated and driven postdoctoral researcher to understand human cooperation & competition using virtual reality. This ambitious project combines concepts from behavioural game theory and theory of mind in an existing VR setup, and is supported by a dedicated VR developer. The goal of the position is to understand human cooperation in dangerous situations. The role includes conceptual design of classical game-theoretic dilemmata in naturalistic VR scenarios with experimentally controlled non-verbal information channels, conducting and analysing experiments using motion capture data and an established R package (https://github.com/bachlab/vrthreat), and publication of research and development results.
