Job Description: While insights from psychology have been successfully integrated into mainstream economic theories in recent years, the focus has only recently shifted towards the analysis of how psychological effects can be used in a strategic setting. Sophisticated players may exploit the psychology of unsophisticated players to their advantage. This may affect how employers pay employees, and how firms communicate with consumers. These and similar phenomena are addressed theoretically and experimentally by the research group.

We are looking for candidates with proven interest in theoretical microeconomics and experimental research, preferably in the area of industrial organization, non-cooperative game theory or the economics of social networks.

Candidates will be able to adapt and further work out the specific focus and application of the project, within the context of the overall research project.

Applicants with other research master’s degrees will be considered as well, provided they can show some expertise in (game-) theoretical research.

The ideal candidate will have:
* experience with conducting theoretical research and formal modeling;
* experience with conducting laboratory or field experiments;
* an affinity with interdisciplinary research;
* excellent communicative skills;
* affinity with and knowledge of game theory;
* a good command of the English language, both spoken and written. The dissertation is expected to be written in English.
