Job Description
The Translational Social Neuroscience Unit at the Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (JMU) in Würzburg, Germany is offering a 2-year 100% postdoc position in social neuroscience. The unit studies the psychological and neurobiological processes underlying social interactions and decisions. Current studies investigate drivers of human social behavior such as empathy, social norms, group membership, and egoism, as well as the social modulation of anxiety and pain processing. The unit uses neuroscientific methods (functional magnetic resonance imaging, electroencephalography) and psychophysiological measures (heart rate, skin conductance), combined with experimental paradigms from cognitive and social psychology and simulations of social interactions in virtual reality. The unit also studies social interactions in everyday life using smartphone-based surveys and mobile physiological sensors. The position is initially limited until September 30, 2025 with the option for extension.
