About this position

Aalborg University’s Department of Computer Science invites applications for a postdoctoral position in Human-Centred Artificial Intelligence, focused on safeguarding users’ cognitive autonomy in human-AI interaction. The project examines how increasing reliance on AI recommendations can affect people’s independent reasoning and decision-making.

The postdoctoral researcher will investigate when users’ cognitive autonomy is at risk and how timely digital interventions can support independent thinking. The research will develop methods for detecting changes in users’ cognitive load and connect technical system development with cognitive theory. The role offers scope for empirical, methodological, and technical contributions, with opportunities for the researcher to help shape the project’s direction according to their interests.

Research dissemination will target leading Human-Computer Interaction venues. The researcher will join the Human Augmentation and Collaboration research group, an ambitious and supportive environment that designs and evaluates interactive systems extending human cognitive, affective, and collaborative capabilities in digital environments. The group regularly publishes in leading HCI venues and works with a strong network of collaborators.

The project is led by Professor Niels van Berkel at Aalborg University and is supported by a DFF research project entitled “Safeguarding Users’ Cognitive Autonomy in Human-AI Interaction.”

Funding details

This is a funded, full-time two-year postdoctoral position supported by a DFF research project. Salary and employment terms follow the Danish collective agreement for academic staff at universities. The position includes a three-month mutual probationary period.

What's required
