Our joint research goal for this project is to establish a new mode of data acquisition that captures young children’s first-person experience in naturalistic settings and establish systematic pipelines that leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to characterize the nature and complexity of the captured experiences. This contributes to the aims of the SPP programme to establish a new, multimodal data approach in social science studies, as well as a pipeline that connects and compares this new approach against traditional survey data types.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0cm 14.2pt; line-height: normal; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.2pt;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">For more information about the SPP 2431 New Data Spaces for the Social Science, please visit </span><span lang="DE"><a href="https://www.new-data-spaces.de/en-us/" style="color: rgb(149, 79, 114);"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">https://www.new-data-spaces.de/en-us//</span></a></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0cm 28pt; line-height: normal; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-align: justify; text-indent: -14pt;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 4pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0cm 28pt; line-height: normal; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-align: justify; text-indent: -14pt;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Apply to join our interdisciplinary team to solve these exciting research questions!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0cm 28pt; line-height: normal; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-align: justify; text-indent: -14pt;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The job involves research within this project.<i><o:p></o:p></i></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0cm 28pt; line-height: normal; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-align: justify; text-indent: -14pt;"><i><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> </span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0cm 14.2pt; line-height: normal; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.2pt;"><b><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Scope and hiring requirements for Prof. Yee Lee Shing:</span></b><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0cm 14.2pt; line-height: normal; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.2pt;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The individual will work in close collaboration with computer science team members on the issue of the interplay between environment and individual development, utilizing digital technologies to reliably capture daily experiences from the first-person perspective.
