In the context of this position you will conceptualise, implement, and conduct innovative multimethod studies to investigate the bio-physiological underpinnings of leadership behaviours. Thereby, focus will lie on the full range of leadership including positive and destructive styles. We will investigate leadership and its relation to behavioural aggression, impulse control, and various biological markers (e.g., heart rate variability, skin conductance level, electroencephalography, possibly fMRI). You are expected to conduct multimethod laboratory measurements (including experienced leaders as participants) and supervise student assistants. You will have the opportunity to program and optimise cognitive tasks, analyse data, and write scientific manuscripts. We expect you to be comfortable presenting ideas to scientific and non-scientific audiences and to be open to give courses and workshops in student- and executive-education.

This project offers a collaborative work environment, experienced and informed supervision combining outstanding expertise in leadership research and social neuroscience (Prof. Dr. Claudia Peus, Dr. Franziska Emmerling), and will enable your scientific creativity and independence. The team is truly interdisciplinary and creates an open-minded and friendly work atmosphere. We support your scientific development, your career goals, and the establishment of a professional network.
