• Research with impact: You pursue an original and high-quality dissertation project in digital education that contributes to the lab's research agenda and addresses questions of scientific and practical relevance.
• Co-construction instead of convention: You develop an independent academic profile through your own re-search ideas, conceptual precision, and a strong interest in theory-based and experimental work.
• Methodological strength: You develop advanced methodological competencies, particularly in experimental designs and meta-analytic approaches, and apply them rigorously in your own research.
• Academic collaboration and responsibility: You contribute actively to the intellectual life of the lab, engage relia-bly in collaborative projects, and take ownership of project-related responsibilities.
• Transfer with substance: You bring your research into dialogue with educational practice and relevant stake-holders, helping to strengthen the societal relevance and visibility of the lab's work.
