<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b> </b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kairos Research is seeking to hire a <b>Senior Human-Computer Interaction Researcher</b> with expertise in human language technology.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b> </b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Position Overview:</b> We currently have an opening for a full-time Senior Human-Computer Interaction Researcher whose work seeks to incorporate recent advances in generative large language models (LLMs). Specific research areas of interest
include human-machine dialogue, human-AI alignment, trust (and over-trust) in AI, and the use of multimodal generative AI approaches in conjunction with other tools and techniques (e.g., virtual and/or augmented reality) to accelerate learning in real-world
task environments. Additional related projects underway at Kairos involve the integration of generative AI into interactive dashboards for visualizing and interrogating social media narratives. The Human-Computer Interaction Researcher will play a significant
role in supporting our growing body of work with DARPA, Special Operations Command, the Air Force Research Laboratory, and other federal sponsors.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Company Profile: </b>Kairos Research (<a href="https://kairosresearch.com">https://kairosresearch.com</a>) is a young and dynamic company based in Dayton, OH, conducting cutting-edge research at the intersection of human and artificial
intelligence for federal, State, and industry clients. We are especially proud of our culture here at Kairos, where we place a strong emphasis on fostering a mutually supportive, friendly, and collaborative work environment. Creativity and passion for research
are the lifeblood of our organization and animate everything we do. For all positions, we offer a competitive salary and benefits package in addition to performance-based incentive programs.</p>
