We are looking for a talented postdoc who is interested in trustworthy and transparent human-AI interactions, in the context of news media and journalism.


A 2-year fixed-term full time Postdoc position is available at the Distributed & Interactive Systems (DIS) research group at CWI.

This project is a collaboration between CWI and the AI, Media, and Democracy (AIMD) lab in Amsterdam. You will be working under the supervision of Dr. Abdallah El Ali and Pablo Cesar, where you will be embedded within the AIMD lab.

Job description:

Encounters with AI-generated content can impact the human experience of algorithms, and more broadly the psychology of Human-AI interaction. In particular, AI system disclosures can influence users' perceptions of media content.

There is a growing concern that as generative AI becomes more widely used, manipulated content could easily spread false information.

As a key step toward mitigating harms and risk, a key recent mitigation effort involves the European Al Act Proposition "Transparency Obligations for Providers and Users of Certain AI Systems and GPAI Models", which seeks to address the issue of AI system transparency.

The research scope broadly addresses the effective, trustworthy, and transparent communication of AI system disclosures. We aim to account for ethical and legal considerations, design and human factors perspectives, as well as policy recommendations.

As such, this role may involve relevant stakeholders where necessary, ranging from media organizations, policy makers, as well as AI researchers and practitioners.

The initial focus is on the end-user (media consumer) perspective, and at later stages, on the perspective of the media organizations and the generative AI media production process itself.

For this postdoc, we are specifically interested in how trust in AI systems can be garnered by focusing on creating better user interfaces and/or understanding human-AI system interactions at a cognitive, behavioral, and physiological level.

By establishing user-centric designs for transparent AI disclosures, we can take steps toward ensuring a well-functioning democratic society.


We expect the postdoc researcher to be embedded within the AI, Media, and Democracy lab, which is located in Amsterdam's city center.


Topics of interest include:

  • Intelligent visualization techniques, adaptive user interfaces (UI), and content personalization, that allows tailoring users' experience of the UI and media content as well as any associated disclosures and/or explanations
  • User behavioral and physiological sensing techniques for humanAI interaction, that can help predict the right balance between information overload and the essential information to be communicated to users to build user trust in systems employing generative AI
  • Developing and evaluating novel user interfaces for journalism that incorporate meaningful disclosure mechanisms for generative AI, from news production to audience engagement, to ensure user agency and autonomy
  • Designing and evaluating explainability interfaces for journalists and editors working with AI to ensure responsible decision making
  • Empirical studies (online and/or labbased) to understand the relationship between AI disclosures and how people perceived AI content, for both users and media organization
