- Plan and execute studies on the perception-action coupling of football players and car drivers
- Recording and analyzing motion
- and eye-tracking data as well as driving behavior.
- Programming of data analysis routines (in Python, Matlab or R)
- Coordinating studies with the Swiss Council for Accident Prevention (BFU) and the Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute (VTI)

**Requirements**:

- Very good university degree (Master), preferably in sport science, psychology, computer science or related fields (according to the doctoral regulations, only persons with at least "magna cum laude" (good) or with a minimum grade 5 in their Master's degree can be admitted)

- Knowledge about Virtual Reality animations and/or experience with driving simulators
- Experience with analyzing large datasets

We offer
- Integration in an interdisciplinary environment at the Institute of Sport Science in Bern
- Laboratories with a 3D cave projection, a 3D sound system, motion
- and eye-tracking
- Possibility to gain teaching experience (Bachelor seminar)
- 6-month research stay at the Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute (VTI)
- Participation in both national and international research colloquia and conferences
- Yearly research symposium with international guests from different sports domains
- Salary according to the SNSF guidelines (brutto salary of 55'000 CHF per year)
