This doctoral position is part of a cross-border research project funded by SNSF and DFG's WEAVE scheme, focusing on Virtual Reality and hosted jointly at ETH Zurich (Chair of Technology Marketing) and TUM Campus Munich (Professorship of Marketing & Technology). The project investigates how people perceive time and space in immersive virtual environments, approaching related questions in an interdisciplinary manner at the intersection of psychology, technology, and human–computer interaction. The project duration is three years.

Tasks

  • Work directly with Principal Investigators at ETH Zurich and TUM to develop the research agenda, refine study designs, and drive the project toward top-tier publications.
  • Conduct rigorous research with the ambition to publish in leading international journals.
  • Design and implement VR-based experiments and analyze primary and secondary data.
  • Collaborate with colleagues, international co-authors, and industry partners.
  • Contribute to student supervision, VR-research seminars, or provide operational support for the project.

Requirements

  • An excellent Master’s degree fitting to Position B.
  • A strong interest in fundamental research tackling questions on the perception of time and space in virtual immersive environments.
  • Solid quantitative skills (R, Python, or Stata).
  • Programming ability relevant to your target position; for Position B, programming experience is welcome but not as strongly required.
  • Initial understanding of neuroscientific techniques (e.g., eye-tracking) is an advantage for Position B.
  • High personal initiative, an entrepreneurial mindset, and the drive to thrive in an ambitious, collaborative research environment.
  • Professional proficiency in English (C1/C2 or native); German/Swiss German is a plus.

Benefits

  • An open and collaborative working environment at the Professorship of Marketing & Technology (TUM).
  • Earliest starting date October 2026.
  • 3-year contract at standard doctoral rates (TV-L E13 at TUM).
  • Access to doctoral programs at ETH Zurich and TUM, plus external opportunities for continuous quantitative training (e.g., GSERM St. Gallen/Lugano, ICPSR at the University of Michigan).
  • Potential research stays in Germany or abroad (e.g., Netherlands, Korea, United States, Canada, Spain, etc.).
  • Interdisciplinary teams and collaboration with top international partners (e.g., ESADE, ETH Zurich, Oxford, Yonsei).
  • The positions are suitable for people with disabilities; disabled applicants will be given preference in the case of generally equivalent suitability, aptitude, and professional performance.
