Your responsibilities
We are looking for an excellent candidate who wants to co-develop their doctoral project topic within HISE's agenda and project landscape. Together with Prof. Bittner, you will shape a doctoral project that fits your background, interests, and the group's research vision.
Topic areas for the PhD position include, but are not limited to:
* Augmenting sensemaking and shared understanding in groupwork with AI
* Understanding socio-cognitive mechanisms in human-AI collaboration and designing IS toward balanced engagement (cognitive load, learning vs. deskilling,...)
* Leveraging agentic IS for human-centered work ; managing agentic workforces
The position includes teaching duties (e.g., supporting BSc/MSc courses related to information systems, human-AI collaboration, and socio-technical design). You will be mentored in developing your teaching skills alongside your research.
Your profile
You...
* Hold (or are close to completing) a master's degree in Information Systems (IS), Computer Science, Neuroscience, NeuroIS, Neuropsychology, or a related field with strong interest in information systems
* Demonstrate a strong interest in human-centered information systems design and human-AI collaboration
* Bring, or are eager to develop, methodological rigor in design-oriented, empirical, or experimental IS research; experience with NeuroIS methods (particularly EEG) is a plus but not required
* Are motivated to take an active role in shaping your own doctoral research agenda within the group's focus areas and aim at developing high quality IS publications
* Are fluent in English (written and spoken); at least intermediate German is expected, given the need to converse with students and project partners, with room to further develop language skills on the job
* You are a team player, work independently and communicate proactively; you enjoy working in and are willing to contribute to flourishing of a group that lives collaboration on a day to day basis.
