PhD Position Assessing the Effects of Technology on Youth Loneliness-
Job description
The departments of Cognitive Robotics and Biomechanical Engineering at the Delft University of Technology invite applicants for a PhD position in the project, “Disconnected: Assessing the Effects of Technology on Youth Loneliness”.
This project has been granted funding from NWO under the Dutch Research Agenda (Nationale Wetenschapsagenda; NWA), a program that focuses on key questions that have been established with input from citizens. Our project is aimed at scientific inquiry regarding loneliness in the target group of 18-26 years olds, and is part of a wider network of projects that address loneliness in various target groups.
Our consortium, consisting of Dr. Dimitra Dodou, Dr.ir. Yke Bauke Eisma, and Prof.dr.ir. Joost de Winter (TU Delft), and Prof.dr.ir. Nederveen (AMC), supplemented by various partner organizations in the field of technology and society, hypothesize that ‘technology’ plays a central role in the potential causes of loneliness, because technology can possibly create a distant form of inter-human connection. At the same time, technology may also provide a solution by connecting with people in a meaningful way. Through this project, we aim to identify the deeper causes of loneliness in society, and in this way, come up with valid recommendations, and solid scientific and empirically based knowledge about loneliness. Furthermore, we actively strive to reduce stigmas about loneliness in a well-informed manner.
**Requirements**:
Applicants should have the following qualifications:
- MSc degree in engineering, artificial intelligence, or robotics with a profound interest or specialization in human-technology interaction and human behavior.
- Embracement of open science principles and modern communication tools.
- Willingness to present at scientific events, willingness to engage with and travel to project partners, for joint research activities.
- Proficiency in the Dutch language is a must.
Conditions of employment
From 1 September next, a salary increase of 3.7% applies due to a Collective Agreement amendment, followed by an additional 1% increase on 1 January 2025. In addition, most employees employed on 1 September 2024 will receive a one-off payment of €300 gross based on full-time employment.
The TU Delft offers a customisable compensation package, discounts on health insurance, and a monthly work costs contribution. Flexible work schedules can be arranged.
For international applicants, TU Delft has the Coming to Delft Service. This service provides information for new international employees to help you prepare the relocation and to settle in the Netherlands. The Coming to Delft Service offers a Dual Career Programme for partners and they organise events to expand your (social) network.
