I am recruiting for a highly motivated PhD student to conduct Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) research on Inclusive Design with Artificial Intelligence. This fully funded, 4-year PhD position will join me at the Digital Interactions Lab at the Informatics Institute.

- Interest in interdisciplinary research and the ethical implications of AI in design.

Desirable skills: UX/UI research experience, knowledge of accessibility literature, data analysis in Python or R, and qualitative research experience.

What we offer: A monthly salary (€2,872 - €3,670), a dynamic research environment, and a comprehensive benefits package, including 232 holiday hours and professional development opportunities.

To Apply:

  *   A detailed CV including the months (not just years) when referring to your education and work experience;
  *   A letter of motivation;
  *   A list of publications (if applicable);
  *   The names and email addresses of two references who can provide letters of recommendation
