Offers for young researchers

Post-doctoral student Marie Ritter and doctoral student Darien Tartler from the Department of Work, Organizational and Social Psychology at the Institute of Psychology want to develop MeetingHacks, a short content video format that prepares tips from meeting research for practical use. The videos will be presented to people from companies and start-ups as well as students, their needs will be discussed in a workshop and new impulses will be fed back into research. The knowledge gained from the MeetingHacks can thus be applied directly in everyday working life. This project is co-funded by the Braunschweigischer Hochschulbund e.V.

Research assistant Ayat Tarik from the Institute for the History and Theory of Architecture and the City (GTAS) is planning to work with two master's students, Jennifer Baus and Burcu Daglayan, in a so-called KO:Lab to jointly develop and test participatory methods for implementing low-threshold participation formats in the Schwarzer Berg district of Braunschweig. With their project, they are committed to sustainable urban development geared towards the common good, in which opportunities for participation and co-determination in urban design processes are promoted. The aim is to strengthen identification with the place and the neighborhood for everyone who lives or spends time there.

Promoting sustainable construction through collaborative exchange is the aim of the impact project by post-doctoral student Sandra Rothenbusch from the Department of Work, Organizational and Social Psychology at the Institute of Psychology. The idea of the project is to bring together players in the construction industry through “speed dating” and “fuck-up events” on the topics of “sustainable construction” and “sustainable collaboration”, thus enabling discussions and exchanges of experience as well as approaches to solutions on these topics. The results of the discussions are to be recorded visually using note sketching and shared via social media.

In her research, PhD student Grace Abou Jaoude from the Institute for Sustainable Urbanism (ISU) plans to develop a web-based tool that analyses and visualizes different scenarios for the reintegration of urban production in order to investigate their impact on resource efficiency. The tool will provide evidence-based information on potential benefits for local manufacturers and their production networks to become more integrated into urban production.
