The University of Oulu is a multidisciplinary, international research university, with about 3,600 employees who produce new knowledge based on high-standards research and provide research based education to build a more sustainable, smarter, and more humane world. The University of Oulu community has about 17,000 people in total. Our northern scientific community operates globally and creates conditions for the emergence of innovations.
We are now looking for
to join us in the Hybrid Intelligence: Human-AI Co-evolution and Learning in multi-realities (HI) research programme at the University of Oulu. The programme is part of our national profiling actions supported by the Academy of Finland. HI stands on the fundamental research on emotion AI, learning processes and perception engineering for AI-based solutions e.g. in education and nursing. HI research combines the strengths of both humans and machines, emphasizing mutual understanding and learning from each other in their co-evolution. We propose building the metaverse idea by combining our physical and virtual realities towards a multi-reality. The programme focuses on international top-level collaborative and multidisciplinary research, supported by unique LeaF, a learning and interaction research infrastructure and its new Ethics Forum and Data Forum, which will establish a new deep crosscutting HI discussion in ethical and responsible ways. HI aspires to scientific leadership in solving global challenges by facilitating human-human and human-technology interaction, understanding and collaboration for the human capital behind AI. With its’ international networks HI will pave the way towards breakthroughs in how humans and machines interact and understand and learn from each other. HI will recruit new talented international researchers to bolster the scientific profile at the University of Oulu and initiate new collaborations with companies.
The postdoctoral position will be placed in the Faculty of Education and Psychology (Learning and Educational Technology (LET) Research Lab). We invite applications from candidates across fields and disciplines who have strong research skills in learning sciences, computer sciences, or a relevant field, and who are interested in pursuing work across and beyond disciplinary boundaries.
We are seeking candidates engaged with the theme: Understanding learning process to augment humans, especially contributing implication how HI can impact learning and teaching. Candidates should focus on designing, developing, and utilizing technology in new domains for shared regulation between humans and AI. This includes efforts to enhance education through augmented learning and the development of hybrid intelligence systems. This theme will work with various underserved people and stakeholders to develop adaptive platforms implementing HI. It provides feedback to other HI aspects via cyclic processes which helps to push forward positive effects and mitigate negative ones in future development.
We expect that these temporary positions will contribute to the Hybrid Intelligence research program themes regarding new research results, publications, and/or writing research funding proposals.
As a postdoctoral, you will
• Engage in writing and submitting applications for research funding.
• Collaborate in service to the HI programme, faculty, and university.
• Contribute to HI research publications.
• Actively participate in HI program activities and development.
