Your role
We offer an appointment for a Postdoctoral researcher with an anticipated start as soon as possible, as part of our European collaborative research projects. Your role will be to conduct research in HCAI, contribute to and lead in some cases project research and technical reporting, dissemination activities, as well as empirical and experimental research. You will also be expected to liaise with and support other researchers, especially PhD researchers working in the same projects. You will engage in regular project meetings and workshops together with the project partners, demonstrating initiative. A brief outline of current relevant projects follows.

The relevant Horizon Europe projects HumAIne, AI4Work, SkillAIbility, and AIXpert
You will be part of highly dynamic and engaging teams, within the consortia of the European collaborative projects HumAIne, AI4Work, SkillAIbility, and AIXpert. You will work within the Department of Operations, and be expected to engage with colleagues from other Departments, the Faculty and University, and Faculty, University, and broader partners beyond the University.
The projects include technology providers (including AI providers), industry experts from multiple domains, academic & research institutions, and other organisations, offering the right partnership mix of stakeholders to integrate a multi-stakeholder viewpoint on HCAI research.

I. HumAIne: Knowledge - Infused Artificial Intelligence for Human-Technology Integration
The effective integration of data and knowledge in HCAI in HumAIne is based on knowledge representations in the form of ontologies, knowledge graphs, and neuro-symbolic learning, offering sound grounding also for Large Language Model (LLM) outcomes to drive knowledge-infused AI. The incorporation of domain knowledge is hardly achievable without the collaboration of multi-stakeholder teams, and therefore HumAIne takes a co-creative and evaluative approach to shaping Knowledge-Infused Artificial Intelligence. The research in this project takes a multidisciplinary perspective with effective multi-stakeholder co-creative and evaluative approaches to harness domain-relevant expertise and knowledge. Pilot project-use cases offer a rich testbed for the validation of the developed approaches.

II. AI4Work: Human-Centred Digital Twins in Industrial Work Environments

III. SkillAIbility: Co-designing human centric pathways for future skills in manufacturing through augmented, empowered, inclusive, and symbiotic complementarities between AI, automation and humans
The objective of the SkillAIbility project is to create human-centric pathways to future HCAI skills and jobs for all in the digital transition for the manufacturing industry. AI can exacerbate social disparities and inequalities, especially for vulnerable groups. To mitigate such risks, the project targets societal, industrial, academic, and regulatory dimensions, through co-designing education, training and relevant AI tools with workers, especially vulnerable groups, using empowering, inclusive, and symbiotic complementarities between AI, automation, and humans. Our team will mainly focus on roadmapping, creation of future scenarios for augmentation, empowerment, and symbiosis between humans and AI/automation technologies, on the design of human technologies for symbiotic work organisation contexts, and on leading use cases through co-design principles for inclusive AI.

IV. AIXPERT: An agentic, multi-layer, GenAI-powered backbone to make an AI system explainable, accountable, and transparent
