    2. Data Interaction and Visual Analytics

    Research: You have a design focus on data interaction, visual analytics, and information visualization, a keen sense of data quality and meaningful interactions with data. In Industrial Design, we look for effective and aesthetic ways of presenting large-scale, complex data to diverse audiences and to support various types of users. For this position, we focus on professional users of high-tech systems in the semiconductor, printing, and healthcare industries. This could mean supporting professionals in complex tasks using high-dimensional data streams, providing new views on data using knowledge representation techniques and machine-learning, or connecting organizational data silos to empower stakeholders. In addition, we focus on how data evolves and changes, and how our understanding and sense-making such data will be dynamic, adaptive, and evolving over time. This means strengthening qualities of data interaction to promote design agency in the interpretation of data in and out of a context. You will develop novel concepts and applications, and related design methodology and technologies to support the application of visual analytics in different application domains. You will engage in and lead collaboration projects with industrial stakeholders. You are familiar with current data visualization and data interaction technologies, and you have a track record and strong ambition to contribute to the development of tools, methods and theory, guiding and inspiring designers in this field, and connecting to contemporary data design methodologies such as data-enabled design.

    Education: You will contribute to our educational expertise in the areas of "Math, Data & Computing", "Technology & Realization" and "Creativity & Aesthetics" through courses at bachelor's and master's level in topics related to data and information visualization, generative design, designing with data, and visual analytics. Furthermore, education will involve the definition and coaching of student projects at bachelor's and master's level, and in our post-graduate Engineering Doctorate program.

    3. Design for Human-Vehicle Interaction (Smart Mobility and Automated Vehicles)

    Research: For this position, we are looking for a motivated colleague who will work on designing and evaluating solutions to overcome human factors issues in the domain of automated driving, such as trust and acceptance, shared control, situation awareness, automation surprise, perceived safety, uncertainty and the interaction between autonomous vehicles and pedestrians, cyclists and manually driven vehicles. Within these themes, issues such as inclusivity, AI, data, methodologies, regulations and ethics play a potential role.

    The candidate should have a PhD degree, building on a background in Industrial Design, Interaction Design, Human-Technology Interaction, Cognitive Psychology or Human Factors with a strong affinity with user experience research, design research methodologies and design as solutions for complex HMI challenges such as mode confusion, automation surprise, discomfort, overload, distraction, trust calibration and perceived uncertainty and perceived safety. Having a track record in automative (design) research is preferred, preferably with a good international reputation as evident from a range of high standing publications, participation in conferences and events and publications in the automotive design and research community.

    Education: The candidate should be able and motivated to contribute to the bachelor and master programme (e.g. our course Automotive Human Factors), demonstrate ability to create links between education and research, take an active role in coaching students in our Future Mobility Squad and guide final bachelor and master students, also together with other departments at the University (e.g. IE&IS).
