Theses / Practicals

We are always looking for motivated students for final theses and practicals. Depending on the topic of interest, the following skills are beneficial: 

  • Advanced Python programming
  • Machine Learning / Deep Learning
  • Dynamical systems and time series analysis

or

  • Front- and back-end web development
  • A genuine interest in psychological and cognitive processes
  • A genuine interest in intersections of ML and the humanities/ social sciences

Students interested in a thesis project or practical training are kindly asked to write an email to humml-application@iwr.uni-heidelberg.de and include their transcript, preferred start date, and research interests, insofar as these are already known. It is also possible to do an internship in preparation for a thesis.
