Your responsibilities Together, we will develop novel approaches for the characterization, design, and evaluation of interactive visual data analysis solutions that combine the strengths of both humans and algorithms. This position is particularly suitable for candidates with interests/experience in interdisciplinary, collaborative, and applied work, e.g., in medicine, digital and personal health, digital humanities, digital libraries, or sustainability domains.
We are pursuing a human-centered approach to data science, machine learning, and AI, to foster human involvement rather than replace it in the data analysis process. In the context of digitalization, data-driven research and decision-making, human-machine collaboration, and human-centered AI, we will study human workflows, identify and preserve steps with high human intellectuality, and establish practices of both high human control and automation. Together, we will address data-oriented challenges such as multivariate, multimodal, heterogeneous, dirty, uncertain, or unlabeled data. Important model-oriented challenges include data preprocessing, model building, model quality assessment, and model explanation. User-oriented challenges include varying degrees of user expertise, personalization intents, human factors, and understanding and supporting user preferences for data and tasks to contribute to an enhanced user experience.
Your responsibilities in this research-oriented position include teaching and student supervision, administrative tasks, and project-oriented work. The main goal though is to conduct excellent research, generating results which are published and presented in top international journals and conferences.
