The Data Science Lab of Prof. Lucie Flek at the University of Bonn and
the Lamarr Institute for Machine Learning and Artificial
Intelligence invites applications for a *Senior Postdoctoral Researcher
(m/f/d)* in *Computational Psychology / Human–AI Interaction*.
The position is part of the *ERC-funded project LLMpathy (2025–2030)*,
which investigates how *human psychological traits, values, emotions,
and social cognition can be modeled and empirically linked to the
behavior of large language models* in order to build and evaluate
*socially intelligent AI systems*. The postdoc will take a *leading role
in the design and execution of large-scale human studies* that serve as
the empirical foundation for computational human modeling and social AI
evaluation.
*Responsibilities include:*
– Co-Design and validation of psychometric and interaction-based human
studies
– Development of social interaction and human–AI interaction tasks
– Advanced statistical analysis of human behavioral data
– Close collaboration with AI researchers to translate psychological
constructs into human models for AI evaluation
– Co-Development of Ethics- and GDPR-compliant study governance
– Co-Mentoring of PhD students and scientific publications
*Profile:* PhD in psychology, cognitive science, HCI, computational
social science, or related field, with strong expertise in
*psychometrics, experimental design, and human-subject research*. Strong
AI affinity is required; deep machine learning engineering is
*not* expected.
*Position:* Full-time (TV-L E13/E14) up to *3 years*
*Preferred start:* *March 1, 2025*
*Location:* Bonn, Germany
*Application:* CV, motivation letter, short research summary, referees
(optional)
*Contact:* [email protected]
Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, with the first
deadline on *December 13, 2025*
The University of Bonn is an equal-opportunity employer and encourages
applications from women and underrepresented groups.
