This PhD project explores how workers can shape the AI and robotic systems they use so that technology supports rather than replaces human work. The research sits within the NWA project AUGMENT , which focuses on worker-augmenting technology implementation across different organizations and job contexts. You will study how technologies are selected, introduced, and adapted in everyday work, and how decision opportunities for workers can be designed so they improve job quality, well-being, and pe...

This postdoc at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) focuses on developing AI-enabled robotic systems for responsible human-robot collaboration in the EU-funded OPERA project. The work addresses how autonomous robots in human-centered environments can move beyond immediate sensor response to estimate uncertainty, adapt to human preferences and values, explain their decisions, and act safely and reliably in changing conditions. The project investigates meaningful human control in human-robot...

About this position

Eindhoven University of Technology is inviting applications for a PhD project on worker-augmenting technology implementation within the multidisciplinary NWA-project AUGMENT. The research asks how workers can shape the AI and robotic systems they use so that technology supports, rather than replaces, human work.

Embedded in the Human Performance Management group of the School of Industrial Engineering, the project connects work and organizational psychology, work design, human-technology interaction and participatory design. The research will examine what forms of assistance workers need, which AI and robotic technologies can meet those needs, and how workers can adjust technology while maintaining job quality, well-being and performance.

The doctoral researcher will conduct fieldwork with practical and knowledge workers in small, medium-sized and large organizations, including task and capacity analyses and interviews about work experiences and desired support. They will review AI and robotic applications, interview technology integrators, and assess potential human-machine synergies.

The project also includes developing and using a transportable laboratory setting at TU/e to study simulated work activities and decisions about AI and robotics. A longitudinal field study will investigate how workers use decision opportunities over time and how these affect labour productivity and meaningful work. The researcher will analyse qualitative and quantitative data, develop practical job-redesign guidance with partner organizations, publish scientific papers, present at international conferences and complete a doctoral dissertation.

Supervision is provided by promotor Pascale Le Blanc and co-promotors Anna-Sophie Ulfert-Blank and Milan Wolffgramm, with Paul Preenen as scientific advisor. The PhD researcher will collaborate with the AUGMENT consortium, partner organizations and researchers across disciplines in the international, technology-focused Brainport Eindhoven environment.
