Postdoctoral Researcher position with Ludwig Huber within the “Overimitation in dogs” project

____________________________________________-

Dear all,

I am currently looking for an enthusiastic researcher to join a highly interdisciplinary team investigating “overimitation in dogs”. The project aims to delve comprehensively into the intriguing aspect of dogs imitating causally irrelevant, non-functional behaviors (called “overimitation”) using an innovative experimental and methodological approach. Within the scope of the project, cutting-edge technology will be integrated with behavioral tests to meticulously explore this cognitive trait in dogs. Data collection will predominantly occur at the Clever Dog Lab of the Messerli Research Institute (unit Comparative Cogniton) situated on the Vetmeduni Vienna campus.

The employment is a temporary, full-time position of 3 years according to central collective agreement.

Starting date March 1st, 2024 or as agreed.

Placement: Vienna, Austria.

For more information, see: https://www.vetmeduni.ac.at/en/cognition/scientific-positions

All electronic applications received by December 31st, 2023, will be considered.

We would be grateful if you could share these positions within your network and sorry for the cross posting if any.

Ludwig Huber
