- User studies on usability of different technologies 2
- Machine learning and human-centred AI
- Automation and digital transformation in society, optimally with focus on labour and work

**Your profile**:

- Good scientific reputation proven by publications in internationally prestigious scientific conferences and journals
- Strong interest for research and development of new prototypes and artifacts, especially in the area of human-centred computing
- Interest in conducting experimental research in the areas of human-machine interaction (also including human-computer and human-robot interaction)
- Very good command of English, as well as knowledge of German (B2 level) or willingness to learn within the first year
- Experience in the supervision of scientific work of students, such as bachelors and masters theses. Previous experience with teaching is of benefit
- Social competence - especially in terms of inclusion, equity, and diversity

**We offer**:
