“KD2School: Designing Adaptive Systems for Economic Decisions”

Research Program

With its main focus on the design of adaptive IT-based systems for supporting economic decision-making in dynamically changing contexts, KD2School covers six research areas at the intersection of psychology, IT-technology, and economic institutions: (i) fundamentals of cognitive systems and neurosciences, (ii) individual decisions in everyday activities, (iii) decision-making in digital team work environments, (iv) group decisions in online participation, (v) the boundaries of adaptation and addiction potentials, (vi) linked laboratory infrastructures.

We Offer

2 doctoral positions for the areas (i) to (iv) and 1 post-doctoral position for the area (v), all at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology ideally starting at the next possible date, limited to 36 months. More specifically, the PhD positions are focused on:
