Opening of a Postdoc Position at OFFIS: Human-Machine Interaction on Ship 
Bridges

The OFFIS Research Division Transportation (www.offis.de) has an open 
position for a post doc researcher on a full-time basis available 
immediately. 
The position is for 3 years with an optional extension up to 5 years. 

You will work in a European Project in the Maritime domain with leading 
scientists in the field of Human-Machine Interaction and with experts from 
the Transportation Industry. The position foresees to lead the 
international team of approx. 15 researchers from different research and 
industry organisations. The objective of the project is to research a new 
methodology for human-centred design of adaptive ship bridge systems based 
on models of distributed decision making processes of seafarers. We will 
perform a detailed investigation of decision making processes on 
(simulated and real) ship bridges in order to derive conceptual 
enhancements of an existing model architecture. The concept will be 
implemented into executable program code in order to perform model-based 
simulations of various maritime scenarios. The resulting model will be 
applied for assessment of human machine interaction (incl. workload and 
usability aspects) involving a new adaptive navigation system. Apart from 
leading the work you should contribute to the research tasks.

Our requirements: 
You should be highly motivated and possess the competence to lead a team 
of researchers. You should enjoy facing interdisciplinary challenges. As 
an application-oriented researcher you are interested in communicating and 
cooperating with industrial partners. 
We expect an outstanding M.Sc. or Diploma in Computer Science, Cognitive 
Psychology or a related discipline. An interest in, and preferably 
experience with, either Cognitive Science, Artificial Intelligence, 
Software Development and/or Safety Critical Assistance Systems are 
essential. The position has a strong focus on the management of the 
project including the management of the human modeling activities. For 
this position a completed doctoral thesis and experience in leading 
research teams is required. 

What we offer:
OFFIS is located in Oldenburg (north western Germany) - a dynamic 
university city with a distinct sense of personality and an unique quality 
of life offering many cultural and free time possibilities. Oldenburg is 
located near Bremen and Hamburg with the North Sea only few kilometres
