Doctoral Research Assistant
in the EU-funded project
SHARE-it: Supported Human Autonomy for Recovery and Enhancement of Cognitive and Motor Abilities Using Information Technologies
(TV-L13, approx. € 32,000 to € 40,000 p.a. gross)
The
goal of the project SHARE-it is to develop a scalable, adaptive system
of add-ons to sensor and assistive technology so that they can be
modularly integrated into an intelligent home environment to enhance
the individual's autonomy. The system will be designed to inform and
assist the user and his/her caregivers through monitoring and mobility
help. Thus, we plan to contribute to the development of the next
generation of assistive devices for older persons or people with
disabilities so that they can be self-dependent as long as possible. We
focus on add-ons to be compatible with existing technologies and to
achieve an easier integration into existing systems. We also aim at
adaptive systems as transparent, and consequently, easy to use to the
person as possible. Scalability is meant to include or remove devices
from the system in a simple, intuitive way.
At the University of Bremen , the work in SHARE-it concentrates on the development of a
cognitive performance model as a basis for interaction models tailored
to individual users' requirements.
To
the tasks of the applicant belong the development of the cognitive
models and interaction models that describe the users' capabilities
(both with and without impairments) and the quality and degree of
assistance provided by the interactive systems.
Practical experience in the following areas is desired:
* cognitive computational modeling
* software design and development
* cognitive architectures and modeling tools (e.g., ACT-R)
* fluent in written and spoken English
Additional knowledge that would be appreciated:
* knowledge in cognitive psychology / cognitive science
* interdisciplinary background in spatial cognition research
* experience with international research projects
The
successful applicant is expected to autonomously communicate and
interact with the European cooperation partners that jointly develop
the SHARE-it modules and platforms. The requisites are a graduation in
a relevant area or a master / diploma in computer science as well as
interest in basic and applied research, and/or experience in a similar
project field.
The
position is available immediately until the end of 2009. An extension
is possible. Application deadline: 04 April 2009 (or until a suitable
candidate is found). Universität Bremen is
an equal opportunity employer. Women are especially encouraged to
apply. Handicapped applicants with equal qualifications will be given
preferential treatment.
