With appropriate work progress, an extension to a total maximum of 4 years is possible.
The predoctoral position is based in the newly established Computer Science Education Group within the Didactics of Computer Science professorship, led by Univ.-Prof. Mag. Dr.techn. Bernhard Standl in the EDEN research group at the Faculty of Computer Science at the University of Vienna. The position is situated within the research fields of computational thinking and AI literacy. The dissertation will focus on computer science education, with an emphasis on the empirical investigation of teaching and learning processes related to fundamental computational ways of thinking and acting, such as problem-solving processes, abstraction, modeling and pattern recognition as well as the understanding, application and reflection on artificial intelligence.
A central research environment is the Computer Science Teaching and Learning Lab, where teaching and learning scenarios are developed, tested, empirically investigated and further refined in both school and university contexts. The position offers the opportunity to contribute to a newly emerging research group, write a cumulative dissertation in computer science education and engage with national and international research networks. The selected predoctoral researcher will also be integrated into the UniVie Doctoral School of Computer Science.
Apply with scientific curriculum vitae or letter of intent, a cover letter, a brief outline of potential dissertation topics, proof of completion of a master’s or diploma program, abstract of the master’s or diploma thesis and, if available, publications, teaching experience, classroom experience, project collaboration or academic presentations.
