Dr. Lena Nadarevic receives Brigitte-Schlieben-Lange support for young women scientists with children
The post-doctoral researcher, Dr. Lena Nadarevic, at the Chair of Cognitive and Differential Psychology at the University of Mannheim is funded for two years by the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts.
The aim of the Brigitte-Schlieben-Lange-Program is to support excellent female scientists at universities in Baden-Württemberg both financially and ideally in their habilitation project. By making it easier to combine habilitation and family, the number of women with children who are eligible for a professorship is to be increased. The duration of the scholarship is two years. The post of Dr. Lena Nadarevic will be financed equally by the Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts and the University of Mannheim.
Dr. Lena Nadarevic has been a research assistant at the Chair of Cognitive and Differential Psychology at the University of Mannheim since 2007. Her main research interests are in the areas of judgment and decision research, memory psychology and mathematical modeling of cognitive processes. In her habilitation thesis she investigates how people spontaneously judge the truth of statements – e.g. on the Internet and in social media – and to what extent they are influenced in their judgement. The psychologist is already the seventh Mannheim researcher to be sponsored by the Brigitte-Schlieben-Lange program.
To the Brigitte-Schlieben-Lange-Program
The Brigitte Schlieben-Lange program is named after the renowned Romance Studies professor and mother of four Brigitte Schlieben-Lange (1943-2000). Among other things, her research on the uniformity of language in the French Revolution was decisive. Schlieben-Lange was a strong advocate for the interests of women scientists and was the Women's Representative of the University of Tübingen from 1994 to 1996.
