Postdoctoral Researcher in Human-AI Interaction for Media

6 dagen geleden

Amsterdam, Noord-Holland, Nederland Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica Voltijd

Position Overview

The AI, Media and Democracy (AIMD) initiative is dedicated to establishing a pioneering environment for experimenting with innovative applications of artificial intelligence within the media landscape. This collaborative effort brings together journalists, media experts, designers, citizens, scholars, and societal stakeholders to address the challenges posed by AI in media.

The research team focuses on understanding the implications of AI-driven tools on public discourse, civic participation, and market dynamics. By integrating data science with a robust human-centered approach, we aim to comprehend user experiences, facilitating the design of advanced, intelligent, and empathetic systems. Our research is grounded in realistic testing environments and diverse datasets, exploring areas such as ubiquitous computing, affective computing, human-centered multimedia systems, and human-AI interaction.

Interactions with AI-generated content can significantly shape user perceptions of algorithms and the broader psychology of human-AI engagement. Particularly, the transparency of AI systems can affect how users interpret media content. With the rise of generative AI, concerns about the dissemination of manipulated content and misinformation have escalated. A recent legislative effort, the European AI Act Proposition, aims to enhance transparency obligations for AI system providers and users, addressing these critical issues.

The research agenda encompasses the trustworthy and transparent communication of AI system disclosures, considering ethical, legal, and design factors, as well as policy implications. This role will engage with various stakeholders, including media organizations, policymakers, and AI researchers. Initially, the focus will be on the end-user perspective, transitioning later to the viewpoints of media organizations and the generative AI production process.

For this postdoctoral position, we seek to explore how trust in AI systems can be cultivated through improved user interfaces and a deeper understanding of human-AI interactions at cognitive, behavioral, and physiological levels. By developing user-centric designs for transparent AI disclosures, we can contribute to fostering a well-functioning democratic society.

Research Areas of Interest:

  • Innovative visualization methods, adaptive user interfaces, and personalized content delivery that enhance user experience and transparency.
  • Techniques for sensing user behavior and physiological responses to optimize human-AI interaction, balancing information overload with essential communications to build trust.
  • Creation and assessment of novel user interfaces for journalism that integrate meaningful disclosure mechanisms for generative AI, promoting user agency.
  • Design and evaluation of explainability interfaces for journalists and editors utilizing AI, ensuring responsible decision-making.
  • Conducting empirical studies (both online and in laboratory settings) to investigate the relationship between AI disclosures and user perceptions of AI-generated content.

Candidate Requirements:

Applicants should possess a PhD in computer science, human-computer interaction, industrial design, cognitive science, or a related discipline. We are particularly interested in candidates with a strong background in physiological sensing, signal processing, information visualization, and human-centered AI. Experience in addressing the social, ethical, or informational aspects of AI in the media sector is highly desirable. Candidates should have a record of publications in leading HCI conferences such as CHI, CSCW, UbiComp/ISWC, IEEE Vis, FAccT, IUI, or similar venues.

Essential qualifications include demonstrated research capabilities, a solid technical foundation, and strong academic writing and presentation skills. Proficiency in English is required.

Employment Terms:

The employment conditions adhere to the Dutch Collective Labour Agreement for Research Centres. The gross monthly salary for a full-time position, commensurate with relevant experience, ranges from €4,218. The appointment is for a duration of two years.

Employees are entitled to a holiday allowance of 8% of the gross annual salary and a year-end bonus of 8.33%. The organization offers appealing working conditions, including flexible scheduling.
