Research Associate | Wissenschaftliche*n Mitarbeiter*in (m/f/x)

Job Summary

This position involves the development and evaluation of AI-based smartphone experiments for physics education, bridging the gap between complex everyday phenomena and classroom learning. Working between the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich and the University of Education Heidelberg, the successful candidate will utilize Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) to help students interpret experimental data, such as images and video. Day-to-day responsibilities include designing instructional materials, conducting empirical field studies, and supporting the establishment of a student laboratory. This role is particularly attractive for those seeking academic qualification, as it explicitly offers the opportunity to pursue a Doctorate (PhD) or Habilitation. The position provides a unique intersection of physics, digital education technology, and cutting-edge AI application within a collaborative research environment, supported by a competitive public service salary (TV-L E13).
