About this position
This PhD position at the University of Amsterdam is hosted in the Intelligent Data Engineering lab (INDElab) within the Informatics Institute. The project explores Data Systems Education as a research area that spans both technical and educational perspectives, with interests ranging from query languages, modelling and dependencies, and Big Data to spreadsheets, and from K-12 education through lifelong learning.
The successful candidate will contribute to theory-building on the principles behind Data Systems Education and investigate how this domain compares with other areas of computing education. The vacancy is deliberately open-ended, inviting applicants to propose the aspect of DSE research they are most passionate about and to connect it to the group’s ongoing work.
Research in the lab combines applied and fundamental work, informed by empirical insights into data science practice. The PhD researcher will work closely with Daphne Miedema and join a team studying intelligent systems that help people work with data and information from diverse sources, including data preparation, management, integration, and reuse.
The role includes independent research leading to peer-reviewed publications, qualitative studies, development of supporting models or tools, and participation in teaching and supervision within the academic environment of the Faculty of Science.
