About this position
The Institute of Educational Science at the University of Zurich is inviting applications for an 80% research associate or project assistant position in Educational Psychology, based at the Chair of Educational Technology in Zurich, Switzerland. The role is designed as a doctoral position and offers the opportunity to pursue an original dissertation project in digital education.
The Chair of Educational Technology researches how teaching and learning scenarios can be designed with digital media and in digital environments. Its work uses quantitative experiments to examine how digital learning media can promote cognitive, emotional, motivational, and social processes during learning. The successful candidate will contribute to this research agenda through the development, implementation, evaluation, and publication of empirical studies.
The doctoral researcher will develop an independent academic profile while working on theory-driven and experimental research. The role includes building advanced methodological expertise, particularly in experimental design and meta-analytical approaches, and applying these methods to an original research project. The researcher will also support the development-oriented supervision of undergraduate students at the chair.
In addition to individual research, the position involves active participation in the intellectual life of the laboratory, collaboration on joint projects, and responsibility for project-related activities. The chair also encourages researchers to connect their findings with educational practice and relevant stakeholders, strengthening the practical relevance and visibility of its work.
The position provides a research environment focused on digital learning, educational technology, educational psychology, quantitative methodology, and interdisciplinary collaboration within the Institute of Educational Science at the University of Zurich.
Funding details
The position is an 80% research associate or project assistant role with a currently advertised 13-month fixed-term contract. The chair is seeking follow-up funding that could allow continuation of the position and completion of a PhD within a total of four years. No salary or stipend amount is stated.
What's required
Applicants must hold a master's degree or equivalent qualification in education, psychology, computer science, didactics, or a related field. They should have a strong interest in scientific work and interdisciplinary collaboration, sound knowledge of quantitative methods—ideally experimental research—an interest in an academic career, innovative and pragmatic thinking, and preferably initial experience working in teams and research projects. Confident English communication is required because English is the working and publication language; German is an advantage but not required.
