Open Position Student Assistant Chair of Marketing and Consumer Research

Ihre Aufgaben

The Chair focuses on approaches in consumer economics and consumer behavior research. Consumers are regarded as individuals in their social, cultural and institutional context. The objects of research are primarily but not exclusively nutrition behavior and the demand for food.

The data for our research comes from surveys and economic experiments, as well as from large data collection efforts such as the Income and Expenditure Survey of the Federal Statistical Office, the GfK Consumer Scan panel or federal health surveys.

Research insights serve as basis for conclusions in the area of marketing and consumer policy.

We are looking for a Student Assistant (m/f/d) for 7 working hours per week in Freising.

The position is initially limited to 6 months, with the possibility of extension based on mutual agreement. Anticipated starting date is February 2025.

Tasks:

• Assisting with teaching activities (preparing slides, designing introductory exercises in R (e.g., R Markdown files), creating course content and tests for self-assessments in Moodle)

• Supporting research projects

• Performing editorial tasks (e.g., formatting, translations, proofreading documents)

Ihr Profil

• Student in Bachelor's or (preferably) Master's program

• Proficiency in R and MS Office (Excel, PowerPoint, Word)

• Experience in teaching activities (e.g., tutoring) is a plus

• Reliable, conscientious, and detail-oriented

• Able to work and solve problems independently

• Excellent command of English (required); German proficiency is an advantage

• Ability to travel to Freising once a week
