Аспирантура в Германии (часть 1 из 2)

We are looking for a highly motivated Doctoral Researcher to join the group of Prof. Dr. Jochen Triesch at the Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies (FIAS). The position is part of a new initiative within the German Excellence Cluster The Adaptive Mind and is expected to start in early 2026.

The application deadline is October 15, 2025.

About the position: Our goal is to reveal the computational and learning principles underlying the fascinating development of cognitive abilities in infants and toddlers through embodied computational modeling. We will develop embodied computational models of how infants and toddlers learn to perceive and understand the world, control their bodies and plan their behavior. These models will make use of our MIMo (Multimodal Infant Model) platform (https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/10382408).
About FIAS: The Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies (FIAS) is a hub for theoretical and computational research located on the science campus of Goethe University Frankfurt (Campus Riedberg). Our fellows pursue interdisciplinary approaches to address fundamental questions in the natural sciences.
We are looking for a candidate with:
• An excellent master’s degree in machine learning, cognitive science, robotics, physics, engineering or related field
• A strong quantitative background
• Prior knowledge in Cognitive Development is advantageous, but not required.
Required documents:
• a motivation letter, highlighting why you want to do a PhD in the field and in our lab
• a detailed curriculum vitae containing academic qualifications, research experiences, skills, possibly a publication list where you highlight your specific contributions
• names and contact information of at least two scientists who can give references
• detailed transcripts of records of your Master’s and Bachelor’s programs.
