Two PhD positions in my lab

I currently have two PhD positions.
One is in an interdisciplinary project on Human-Centered Agentic Science. For the Psychological Perspectives subproject, I am seeking a candidate with a master’s degree in psychology. You would conduct surveys and experiments among scientists of various disciplines and the general public and later smaller studies with users of the developed tools. Next to this, you would develop your PhD project. https://iwm-tuebingen.de/de/karriere/jobs/1013-2026

The second one is a “household” position, meaning you are not working on a specific project but must come up with your own. This should fit the institute and lab, and I especially appreciate ideas that connect our two research strands: incidental knowledge processes that occur during social media use and communicative AI. You should have a background in psychology or communication science. https://iwm-tuebingen.de/de/karriere/jobs/1014-2026

No need to send a research proposal at this stage; I will ask only the candidates invited to the interview for that.

SAW-project on Science Communication approved

The SAW-project „NewOrder – Understanding the erosion of the traditional knowledge order in scientific online discourse and its impact in times of crisis“ has been approved for funding. The interdisciplinary project will be led by Prof. Dr. Stefan Dietze, together with researchers from GESIS and the Heinrich-Heine-University Düsseldorf we will examine how changed orders of the publication process (e.g., preprints) and blurring roles in science communication affect trust in science. Job ad for a PhD student is coming out soon (conducting experiments and a longitudinal study).
