Дистанційна робота, Німеччина

The Gamification & Digital Customer Engagement research group (headed by Prof. Dr. Benedikt Morschheuser) at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) focuses on understanding game-related technologies, trends, and phenomena such as gamification, AR, VR, the ‘metaverse’, or eSports. A specific target of our research is generating novel design knowledge for the successful design of gamified information systems and the empirical investigation of the psychological and behavioural outcomes of gamification. Our research is interdisciplinary and originates at the intersection of psychology, design, computer science, economics, education, and data science. Our office is located at the city center of Nuremberg, where we offer a start-up-like working atmosphere in a friendly team with flat hierarchies and direct communication. We provide you with individual guidance for your doctorate and offer rich support for building up a network in academia and industry.

The work is mainly composed of research activities, including research planning, prototype development, data gathering, data analysis, presentation, and dissemination of research results. Further, you will be involved in administrative and educational tasks of the research group, such as supervising of students.
