Are you interested in how humans interact with and experience technology, can you teach programming (Python) and AI related topics to our students, and want to join us in research?

Job description

Current developments in digitization, robotization, automation, and artificial intelligence are drastically changing our society and how individuals interact with each other and with technology. The research group Human Technology Interaction (HTI) is actively involved in studying these developments by building its research on a disciplinary foundation in the social sciences (mainly cognitive and social psychology, and perception), yet explicitly strives to bridge and contribute to interdisciplinary research fields in multiple areas as varied as human-computer interaction, affective computing, decision-making and human-data interaction, and environmental psychology.

HTI is responsible for the Bachelor Psychology & Technology at TU/e (and for its corresponding Master program). Given upcoming changes in our Bachelor program, we are looking for a candidate who can teach courses in programming (Python), data modeling and databases, and web technology.

Besides this, you need to have research interests that match with the HTI group, for instance in Human-Robotics-Interaction, Human-Computer-Interaction, or any other area that matches with our research interests (have a look at https://www.tue.nl/en/research/research-groups/innovation-sciences/human-technology-interaction/).

You initiate, perform, and supervise high-quality research in Human Technology Interaction; teach and co-develop inspiring and high-quality courses in Bachelor and Master Programs of the school of Innovation Sciences; initiate and contribute to externally funded research projects; assist in the supervision of Ph.D. students, and contribute to the management of the group and the department.

Science is not an individual endeavor at HTI. We highly value collegiality, collaboration, and team science and look forward to welcoming you in our midst. Preferably, we would want you to join us no later than February 1, 2023.
