Phd On Human-centered Ai and Attention in Cognitive
5 maanden geleden
**Job description**:
Are you passionate about exploring the intersection of human cognition and technology? Are you interested in gaining expertise in AI, particularly in the field of _Deep Learning_? Do you have the drive to tackle real-world challenges in assistive technology (e.g., products, equipment, and systems aimed at enhancing learning, working, and daily living)?
Assistive technology refers to products, equipment, and systems designed to improve learning, working or daily living for individuals with physical or cognitive limitations. These technologies can range from simple devices like a smart watch and adaptive keyboards, to more complex systems embedding AI technology such as speech-to-text software and smart home automation. While these systems hold the promise to promote accessibility and inclusion, it is not uncommon to encounter users struggling with its complex demands in terms of attention and cognitive workload. Frequently, these technologies lack the flexibility to offer personalized features and do not always dynamically adapt to the user's strengths. AI can however help to overcome this gap. Deep learning models are exceptional at identifying multiple features in large datasets without explicit programming, and have shown to be adept at enhancing assistive technology biomonitoring systems, human-machine interfaces and physical support devices among others.
Specifically, the PhD project will encompass: (1) gaining a good understanding of the relationship among behavioral, psychophysiological and brain mechanisms underlying attention and cognitive control functions, (2) data collection and preprocessing of psychophysiological signals recorded from the body or brain, environmental data (e.g., noise, light conditions, temperature, motion, etc.), and/or performance-based cognitive tasks, and (3) collaborating with machine learning experts (a second PhD student in USA) integrating personalised AI into meaningful assistive technology interventions (4) critically evaluating methodological approaches in controlled lab settings and real-world scenarios, and reflecting about its potential to boost the positive outcomes of personalized AI-driven assistive technology.
**Job requirements**:
- Recently completed (or be close to the completion of) a Master's degree in Human-Computer Interaction, Experimental psychology, Cognitive Science, Data Science or related discipline with demonstrable interest and/or experience in AI [OR] a Master's degree in AI or related field, with demonstrable interest in psychology, cognitive science, experimental methodology.
- Experience with data wrangling (e.g., in R or Phyton).
- Open-minded and motivated to be part of an interdisciplinary team.
- Fluent in spoken and written English (C1 level).
- Speaking Dutch is a plus but not a requirement.
**Conditions of employment**:
A meaningful job in a dynamic and ambitious university, in an interdisciplinary setting and within an international network. You will work on a beautiful, green campus within walking distance of the central train station. In addition, we offer you:
- Full-time employment for four years, with an intermediate evaluation (go/no-go) after nine months. You will spend 10% of your employment on teaching tasks.
- Salary and benefits (such as a pension scheme, paid pregnancy and maternity leave, partially paid parental leave) in accordance with the _Collective Labour Agreement_ for Dutch Universities, scale P (min. €2,770 max. €3,539).
- A year-end bonus of 8.3% and annual vacation pay of 8%.
- High-quality training programs and other support to grow into a self-aware, autonomous scientific researcher. At TU/e we challenge you to take charge of your own learning process.
- An excellent technical infrastructure, on-campus children's day care and sports facilities.
- An allowance for commuting, working from home and internet costs.
