Ideal candidates should have a good understanding of both computer programming and human factors/cognitive psychology. Experience with machine learning and/or ACT-R is a plus. Research will involve human data collection, statistical analysis, and computational modelling of human performance, mental workload, and situation awareness in the transportation domain, such as driving and piloting. The start date could be in the coming Fall, Winter, or Spring term. https://uwaterloo.ca/human-optimization-modelling-lab/ https://uwaterloo.ca/engineering/ *Contact*: shi.cao at uwaterloo.ca Shi Cao (pronounced like SHER TSAO), PhD, PEng Associate Professor, Department of Systems Design Engineering (SYDE) Link Director, Human Optimization Modelling Lab (HOMLab) Link Program Committee Chair, Collaborative Aeronautics Program, Waterloo Institute for Sustainable Aeronautics Link University of Waterloo 200 University Avenue West Waterloo, Ontario, Canada N2L 3G1 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The closing date for applications is *29**th May 2024 (**midnight, UK time) **(**The difference in tuition fees between national and international students will be waived for excellent international candidates**)*. Join our interdisciplinary team to shape the future of mental health care. *AI models like ChatGPT* fundamentally change the landscape for the automated delivery of psychological interventions. These models will likely make it possible to deliver *psychologically-informed treatment* at scale, meeting a substantial unmet need for these services. This project will develop datasets and software to deliver *Functional Imagery Training (FIT)* via mobile devices and, ultimately, via *embodied agents (robots)*. As a person-centred intervention, FIT presents an interesting challenge: the practitioner or AI must tailor responses to the content of what the 'client' says, and guide mental imagery exercises based on that personal content. By building an interdisciplinary team of psychologists and machine learning experts this project will deliver real-world impact with broad implications for mental healthcare. More details *about the topic *and *how to apply* are available at: https://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DHA540/phd-studentship-fit-for-all-delivering-functional-imagery-training-via-generative-ai-to-improve-access-to-effective-psychological-interventions-for-health PhD Studentship: FIT for All: Delivering Functional Imagery Training via Generative AI To Improve Access to Effective Psychological Interventions for Health at University of Plymouth jobs.ac.uk are now advertising a PhD Studentship: FIT for All: Delivering Functional Imagery Training via Generative AI To Improve Access to Effective Psychological Interventions for Health.
