The position is available part or full time. It includes the opportunity to pursue a variety of research opportunities that can result in authorship on academic publications.
Psychologist: http://www.mpg.de/10451838/20161504-1 (in German) The position is available part time. The main duty will be to support diagnostic testing in people with communication disorders (e.g. autism spectrum disorder, dyslexia, developmental prosopagnosia).
