Internship at the Research Unit Developmental Psychology

The research unit developmental psychology, under the direction of Prof. Dr. Stefanie Höhl, is looking for highly motivated students to join our team as interns!

We are primarily interested in the following research topics:

• Neural and behavioural synchrony during social interactions (EEG/ fNIRS hyperscanning)
• Attention and learning in babies (EEG, eye-tracking)
• Social learning and communication in early development

Depending on the project, you will be involved in various stages of our research process, including planning studies, recruiting participants, carrying out studies with infants and toddlers and analysing data (e.g. with Interact coding software). Thus, we require either experience in working with parents and children (including advanced German language skills) or experience in experimental research, including statistics and (neurophysiological) data analysis (MATLAB, R, SPSS).

Apply if you study psychology (or a related subject, e.g. cognitive sciences) at an advanced stage, are interested to conduct research and work carefully, reliably and independently. Most importantly, you should enjoy working with babies and toddlers!
