Postdoctoral Researcher: Multi-modal Workload Assessment in Air Traffic Control at the Donders Centre for Cognition

4 weken geleden


Nijmegen, Nederland Radboud University Voltijd

The DIALOG project and this associated postdoctoral position are funded under the Single European Sky Air Traffic Management Research Joint Undertaking (SESAR JU). In the DIALOG project we work on an AI-based digital assistant that uses information from the air traffic controllers’ estimated state, traffic situation and general context to anticipate air traffic controllers’ needs and efficiently support their work. A description of the project is available upon request.

As a postdoctoral researcher at Radboud University, you will focus on air traffic controllers’ workload assessment using physiological data (e.g. heart rate measures, pupil dilation, electrodermal activity, and possibly EEG), and on fusing this data with information from other sources (context information as well as behavioural data, such as facial expression, eye tracking, voice). Rather than only combining data into one machine learning model, we foresee using novel approaches for data fusion, such as linking information to gaze location and extracting coordination patterns between different modalities.

You will work on designing, performing and analysing data from a semi-realistic air traffic control study in the lab, using knowledge from the literature and adding to it. You will collaborate with DIALOG partners in various countries in Europe who are expertised in air traffic control, voice processing and eye tracking.

In addition, you will have the opportunity to discuss and collaborate with partners on attention allocation assessment, task allocation by the AI-based digital assistant, and system validation strategies.

    In this PhD position you will develop and analyse a new class of Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms (such as Gibbs Sampling and Metropolis-Hastings) that make use of a novel technology that is currently only available in specialist labs. Using dedicated photonic manipulation, researchers can build covarying bits out of magnetic fields at the nanoscale that...
