DTU Compute’s Section for Cognitive Systems, invites applications for appointment as an Assistant or Associate Professor in computational aspects of human cognition or computational social science. The position is available from December 1, 2019 or according to mutual agreement.

The Section for Cognitive Systems is a lively and research oriented group of scientists and support staff with a shared interest in information processing in man and computer, and a particular focus on the signals they exchange - audio, imagery, behavior - and the opportunities these signals offer for modeling and engineering of cognitive systems.

The Section is working actively to keep a healthy work-life balance and we are aware of the challenges facing young families in academia. Working at DTU provides much flexibility and families in Denmark enjoy a highly developed and affordable childcare system.

The availability of large-scale behavioral datasets and the development of advanced computational and mathematical tools enable unprecedented understanding and modeling of human social and geo-spatial behavior. To consolidate and expand the Department’s teaching and research in this field, we are seeking a new Associate/Assistant Professor in Modeling of Human Dynamics.

Responsibilities and tasks
You will advance interdisciplinary research on human dynamics and socio-technical systems, working at the intersection between cognitive science, physics, social sciences, economics, and computer science. You will contribute to develop novel theoretical models describing human behaviour. Over time, the appointee will develop his or her own independent research platform.

The successful candidate is supposed to participate and develop departmental teaching on Social Data Science and Network Science, covering Bachelor-, Master- and PhD-level courses, and participate in the supervision of graduate students.
