Assistant Professor in Metascience

Are you motivated to improve knowledge generation through technology?

Information
Current developments in research methods, computer science, automation, and artificial intelligence are changing how scientific knowledge is generated, communicated, and used. The research group Human Technology Interaction is actively involved in studying these developments by building its research on a disciplinary foundation in metascience, yet explicitly strives to bridge and contribute to interdisciplinary research fields in areas as varied as human-computer interaction, decision-making, data science, social and environmental psychology, and perception.

You have expertise in research methods, programming, and research on research, and you want to contribute to and influence the successful application of technology for responsible scientific knowledge generation. Your research interests extend and complement the current research program in human-technology interaction. You are active and eager to work on technological practices that improve reliable knowledge generation, communication, and application, with a thorough understanding of the user, and the environment in which people operate.

You will initiate, perform, and supervise high-quality research in the area of Human Technology Interaction (HTI); teach and co-develop inspiring and high-quality courses in Bachelor and Master Programmes 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.

The open position is part of HTI. This group is concerned with the responsible development, introduction, and use of technology, focusing on its interface to humans, its successful deployment in organizations, and a fundamental understanding of its transformative effects on individuals and society. You will also collaborate with colleagues through The Eindhoven Meta-Science Center (META/e). We highly value collegiality, collaboration and team science and look forward to welcoming you in our midst.
