Project information
This position is a collaboration between Tilburg University, a large insurance company, and the municipality of Tilburg. It aims to investigate prevention behavior in groups of people based on large and diverse datasets. In particular, the project will consider two questions:
1. By applying principles of exploratory data analysis and predictive modelling to datasets collected by a large insurance company, is it possible to identify clusters of individuals that exhibit similar and predictable responses to diverse kinds of everyday risk?
2. Using principles of risk communication and the study of risk literacy, how effectively can prevention behavior be influenced by targeting each cluster, and tailoring the information they receive to their characteristic perception of various kinds of risk?
This PhD position will be jointly supervised by dr. Henry Brighton and dr. Emmanuel Keuleers in the Department of Cognitive Science & Artificial Intelligence at Tilburg University.
