• Triage decisions made by experts in collaboration with AI systems
  Additional responsibilities include:
• Independent development, execution, and publication of interdisciplinary research projects
• Independent development (and further development) of mixed-methods approaches (e.g., through AI-supported analysis of qualitative and quantitative data)
• Contribution to grant proposals
• Teaching within the MSc Human Factors program, covering quantitative and experimental study designs (or other selected methodologies), as well as decision theories and their fields of research and application

• Successfully completed university degree (Master, Diplom, or equivalent) in Psychology/Human Factors, Cognitive Science, Computer Science, or related disciplines is required
• The ability to teach in German and/or in English is required; willingness to acquire the respective missing language skills
• Solid knowledge of decision theories and/or experimental laboratory and field research are expected
• Solid methodological expertise in the application of quantitative data analysis methods are expected
• Experience conducting research in medical/technical application domains and/or decision-making contexts are desirable
• Experience in teaching is desirable
• Experience with mixed methods and/or qualitative social research methods are desirable
• Experience with and interest in the AI-based analysis of quantitative and/or qualitative data
