PhD Position: Uncovering Human Bias in AI-Assisted Research

20 uur geleden


Utrecht, Utrecht, Nederland Sticky Voltijd

At Sticky, we are seeking a PhD candidate to join our team and contribute to the development of AI-assisted systematic reviewing tools. This is an exciting opportunity for a researcher with a passion for understanding human bias in AI-driven processes.

About the Project

The project 'Transparent and Reproducible AI-aided Systematic Reviewing for the Social Sciences (TRASS)' aims to explore the complex interactions between humans and AI in systematic reviews. Our research focuses on identifying biases that arise when human discernment is coupled with AI's predictive capabilities.

We are looking for a highly motivated PhD candidate who will investigate questions such as:

  • Which biases do humans display when reviewing abstracts?
  • How does knowledge about these biases generalize to other contexts?
  • Should humans be replaced by AI or kept in the loop?
Responsibilities

You will be responsible for conducting high-quality experiments where humans interact with AI to address these questions. Your research will help foster a collaborative synergy between humans and AI models, reduce potential biases, and promote a more transparent and equitable research process.

Requirements

To succeed in this role, you should have:

  • A Research Master's degree in Psychology, Sociology, Methods & Statistics, Organisation Science, Economics, Management, Public Administration, or a similar study.
  • A strong background in quantitative research, including experiments and/or questionnaires.
  • An interest in systematic reviewing and AI-assisted techniques, or experience using software like ASReview.
  • Familiarity with machine learning / AI / NLP.
  • Experience with R (Markdown) or Python (Jupyter Notebooks).
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English.
Benefits

We offer:

  • A collaborative and enthusiastic team environment.
  • High-quality PhD education and training.
  • A position for 4-4.5 years.
  • A gross monthly salary between €2,770 and €3,539 (salary scale P under the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities).
  • 8% holiday pay and 8.3% year-end bonus.
  • A pension scheme, partially paid parental leave, and flexible terms of employment.
