PhD positions in foundation models of human cognition at MPI for Biological Cybernetics
Apply by 01/10/26
Career Stage: PhD
Tübingen
The CORE COGNITION lab, led by Marcel Binz, is recruiting fully funded PhD students (E13 TVöD Bund, 75%). The expected start date is October 1st, 2026, but later starting dates are possible by agreement. Funding is secured for at least four years.
We work towards a unified theory of human cognition, taking the form of computational models that can simulate, predict, and explain human behavior across a wide range of situations. The group is part of the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics in Tübingen, a vibrant student town at the foot of the Swabian alps and one of Europe’s leading hubs for cognitive science and machine learning research.
