Doctoral Student

Apply before: December 31st, 2017
Institute: University of Cologne (Germany)
Job specification: The position is part of the project “Self-Insight into Attitudes: Distinguishing Introspective from Social Self-Awareness in Research on Implicit Evaluations”, awarded to Adam Hahn by the German National Science Foundation (DFG). The goal behind this project is to test and validate tenets of a theoretical model distinguishing between two different kinds of self-awareness, as well as to explain the cognitive processes responsible for (a) gaining awareness of the processes reflected in implicit evaluations and (b) producing divergences between implicit and explicit evaluations. The doctoral student will be part of the larger Social Cognition Center Cologne (SoCCCo, soccco.uni-koeln.de), a vibrant research environment with more than 30 social cognition researchers working on a diverse range of topics from basic processes of evaluation to self-regulation, moral judgments, social comparison, as well as stereotyping and prejudice. The working language at SoCCCo is English.
