Mailing Lists & Societies

This page is a collection of mailing lists and professional societies relevant to psychology, cognitive science, neuroscience, and linguistics – with a focus on Germany but not exclusively. If you think that a mailing list or society should be on this list but is missing, please contact me and send your suggestions.

Mailing lists and professional societies are one of the most effective ways to find PhD and postdoc positions in Germany, especially in academic fields where many positions are advertised informally or with short deadlines. By subscribing to the relevant lists, you can receive job postings, conference announcements, and calls for applications directly by email.

Why mailing lists matter

Many labs advertise positions on mailing lists before posting on job portals.
Some positions never appear on public job boards and are only shared in disciplinary networks.
You get highly targeted ads relevant to your subfield (e.g., psycholinguistics, cognitive neuroscience, computational modelling).
It helps you understand what kinds of research groups, projects, and methods are active in Germany.
