• Bachelor/Master Seminar Human Resource Management  
• Bachelor/Master Seminar Resources and Organizations 
• Bachelor/Master Seminar Digital Citizen Science

We offer the supervision of

• Bachelor theses
• Master theses

The topics are usually based on current research areas we are working on. You will gain insights into state-of-the-art research topics and have the possibility to actively contribute to science. You can write the thesis in English or German.

You can apply for

• Proposed topics: see below
• Own topics: We will be happy to receive your own ideas for a topic.
• Topics in cooperation with a company.

You may apply any time. We will usually get back to you within three weeks.

To apply, please send the following documents to office-hrm∂ibu.kit.edu.

• Transcript of records (a full transcript of all courses, not only the courses you have passed)
• Starting date (date that you plan to begin your thesis)
• Desired topic or a short exposé if you would like to propose your own topic or write your thesis in cooperation with a company. Please name several topcis if possible and state your preference for each topic.

To prepare our students optimally, all students writing their thesis participate in our colloquium.

For general questions about writing a thesis at the Chair of Human Resource Management, please contact Paul M. Gorny or Michelle Hörrmann.

• From Gap to Inequality: How a Lack of Diversity in AI Data Threatens Gender Equality

In our projects, you become actively involved in the chair's empirical research and take on an independent, practice-oriented task. The projects are aimed in particular at students with an affinity for programming and methodology who wish to apply their technical and methodological skills in an economics research context; the focus is on practical implementation. We offer one project each at Bachelor's and Master's level.

Practical Seminar: The Future of Work (Bachelor)

In this practical seminar, you take on a focused, independent research question from the chair's research environment and thereby contribute to the chair's ongoing projects. You work largely independently on a focused task, with supervision from the chair. A project typically comprises one of the following building blocks:

• the development and implementation of software
• the analysis of an experimental dataset
• the development and implementation of an experimental design

Behavioral Management and Human Subject Research Project (Master)

In this course, you take ownership of an independent research question from the chair's research environment and thereby contribute to the chair's ongoing projects. The work spans several stages of the research process, for example from designing a study through to its implementation and analysis, rather than a single isolated task. The focus is on applied, practical implementation in an experimental research context. Depending on the research question, a project may, for example, comprise:

• the development and implementation of software
• the analysis of one or more experimental datasets
• the development and implementation of an original experimental design

Several of these elements can be combined into a coherent contribution.

Registration

The number of participants is limited. Registration takes place via the Wiwi-Portal before the start of each semester. In addition, you can approach the chair's research assistants on your own initiative with a topic proposal. To do so, please send a topic proposal together with a current transcript of records to office-hrm∂ibu.kit.edu.

For general questions about the projects, please contact Konstantin Soballa or Fabian Wüst.
