*Details:*
The School of Information & Communication Studies
<https://www.ucd.ie/ics/> at University College Dublin
<https://www.ucd.ie/> invites applications for a full- time, 2-year
fixed term position as a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow with the HCI@UCD
research group and ADAPT SFI Research Centre
<https://www.adaptcentre.ie/>. The overall vision of ADAPT is to pioneer
new forms of proactive, scalable and integrated AI-driven Digital
Technology that empower individuals and society to engage in digital
experiences with control, inclusion, and accountability and the
long-term goal of a balanced and inclusive digital society.
This position is interdisciplinary and focused in the area of ethics and
practice in Human Computer Interaction, specifically for AI systems. It
will contribute to ongoing research on multi-stakeholder processes,
participatory and co-design, and civic engagement to improve digital
technology design, use and literacy. Research undertaken in this post
will contribute to our understanding of how ethics can inform the design
of interactive intelligent systems that respect human autonomy, promote
responsibility and contribute to individual and societal wellbeing.
The successful candidate will be expected to conduct qualitative
research that contributes to conceptual design and evaluation processes
as well as studies that explore the impact of AI and decision making
systems on autonomy in specific interaction contexts. The candidate will
work on projects that sit within the Transparent Digital Governance
Research Strand of the SFI ADAPT research centre for Digital Content
Technology. Current projects focus on health applications, entertainment
media and smart cities, with potential for further application domains,
including extended reality (AR/VR/XR), as aligned with the candidate’s
research interests. As such the post-doctoral research will be expected
to both drive an individual research agenda and contribute to the
broader agenda of ADAPT and the HCI@UCD research group.
HCI@UCD <https://www.hci.ucd.ie/> is an interdisciplinary research group
bringing together designers, computer scientists, social and cognitive
scientists. We have core research interests in areas including digital
health technology, conversational user interfaces, user autonomy, and
ethical aspects of design for HCI. We publish regularly at conferences
including the ACM CHI and in interdisciplinary journals and seek to
develop technologies that have a positive impact on society. The School
of Information & Communication studies also conducts research in digital
media applications, culture and policy and hosts the Centre for Digital
Policy.
Applicants should have obtained or be close to completion of a PhD in a
relevant subject (e.g. Human–Computer Interaction, Digital Media,
Critical Data Science, Social science). Applicants should also have
demonstrated strong self motivation and an ability to work
independently. The ideal candidate should have a desire to collaborate
across disciplines and an ability to work as part of a
multi-disciplinary research team.
*Further information:* Informal enquiries can be made to Dr Marguerite
Barry - (marguerite.barry /at/ ucd.ie) <mailto:(marguerite.barry /at/ ucd.ie)>
