12 uur geleden

Amsterdam, Noord-Holland, Nederland Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam Voltijd

We are seeking highly motivated postdoctoral researchers to join our interdisciplinary team at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, working on a pioneering project titled "Understanding Human-Robot Bonding to Optimize Personal Support". Our research focuses on developing and empirically validating a new theory on human-robot bonding for longer-term interactions, with a particular emphasis on various target groups including children, adolescents, students, and adults.

Job Overview

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a multidisciplinary team that combines expertise in communication science, media psychology, developmental and clinical psychology, computer sciences/AI, human-robot interaction, and natural language processing. The successful candidates will have the chance to contribute to the development of scenarios to provide support for individuals who require additional social and communicative assistance, utilizing robots as tools to establish meaningful relationships.

The three postdoctoral researchers will collaborate closely with two PhD candidates and other experts to investigate how affective bonding might occur through robot communication in various social contexts, specifically targeting primary education, special needs education, disabled young adults, adolescents with mood issues, and university students. We will employ a multi-methodological approach, pairing fundamental research with in-situ observations in education and healthcare, to benefit both science and society.

As a postdoctoral researcher, you will be responsible for planning and executing your own research project, collaborating with colleagues, carrying out research according to international standards and open science principles, making your research publicly available and reproducible, and publishing it in leading international journals and conference proceedings.

Vision and Goals

  • To develop and validate a comprehensive theory on human-robot bonding for longer-term interactions.
  • To design and test effective scenarios for providing support to individuals in need using social robots.
  • To explore the potential of human-robot interaction in various social contexts, including education and healthcare.

Our Team

You will be part of a dynamic and collaborative research team consisting of experts from diverse fields, including media psychology, developmental and clinical psychology, computer sciences/AI, human-robot interaction, and natural language processing. Our team is committed to creating a supportive and inclusive environment that fosters innovation and growth.

Salary and Benefits

We offer a competitive salary ranging from €3,345 to €6,148 per month (based on a full-time employment), depending on experience and academic level. Additionally, we provide excellent fringe benefits, including 8% holiday allowance, 8.3% end-of-year bonus, contribution to commuting expenses, and a personalized benefits package.
