Your Responsibilities

Why do people so often choose a smaller reward now over a larger one later – and how much can this be shaped? Working at the intersection of decision making  and data science, you will:

  • Map research on time preferences in a structured literature review
  • Analyse experimental choice data, from classic discounting models to machine learning
  • Potentially explore complementary real-world data, e.g. from social media, using NLP and other data-science methods
  • Contribute to writing the scientific paper and work with our international collaborators

You will also assist with the preparation of teaching and help with organisational tasks at the chair.

Your Profile

  • Enrolled in a Master's programme in data science, economics, management, psychology, computer science, mathematics/statistics, or a related field
  • Solid data analysis skills ideally in R or Python; experience with machine learning or NLP is a plus
  • A keen interest in human decision making and in what data science and AI can reveal about it
  • Very good written and spoken English
  • An independent, reliable way of working
  • Ideally, some knowledge of (behavioral) economics and the ambition to pursue a PhD

We Offer

  • Ideal PhD preparation: hands-on experience of the full research cycle, from data to paper
  • The chance to co-author a paper aimed at a top journal, depending on your contribution
  • The option to write your Master's thesis within the project
  • Close personal mentoring
  • Access to an international research network – valuable for your next academic step
  • Flexible hours that fit your studies, on campus in Berlin or remote, and room for your own ideas
