Job Description

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD student to join our research team in the area of affective computing. The successful candidate will work on developing data-efficient machine learning approaches for context-sensitive affect prediction.

The project aims to explore the context-sensitivity of data-driven approaches for affect prediction from human behavior. In particular, we aim to empirically explore this challenge and develop data-efficient algorithms to address it. The PhD student will be responsible for designing and implementing machine learning models that can effectively capture the context-dependent nature of emotional processes.

The research environment at TU Delft offers a dynamic and stimulating atmosphere, providing opportunities to collaborate with experts in the field. The PhD student will work within the Intelligent Systems department's Pattern Recognition and Bioinformatics group, which comprises labs with researchers working on diverse topics, such as machine learning, computer vision, and human-centered AI.

Requirements

To be eligible for this position, the candidate should have a Master's degree or equivalent in a relevant field (Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, Data Science, Cognitive Science, etc.). In addition, we are looking for candidates with the following essential qualifications:

  • Experience with machine learning/deep learning and quantitative research methods through coursework or projects.
  • Strong analytical and conceptual modeling competencies.
  • Good programming skills (preferably Python), including ML methods and libraries.
  • Excellent (written and verbal) proficiency in English.

We encourage you to apply even if you do not meet all the criteria above as long as you are willing to acquire the complementary skills.

Conditions of Employment

The PhD candidate will be offered a 4-year period of employment in principle, but in the form of 2 employment contracts. An initial 1.5 year contract with an official go/no go progress assessment within 15 months. Followed by an additional contract for the remaining 2.5 years assuming everything goes well and performance requirements are met.

Salary and benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities, increasing from € 2872 per month in the first year to € 3670 in the fourth year. As a PhD candidate you will be enrolled in the TU Delft Graduate School. The TU Delft Graduate School provides an inspiring research environment with an excellent team of supervisors, academic staff and a mentor. The Doctoral Education Programme is aimed at developing your transferable, discipline-related and research skills.

For international applicants, TU Delft has the Coming to Delft Service, which 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 relocation package for partners and they organise events to expand your (social) network.
