• Research Excellence: A PhD (or near completion) in HCI or a related field (e.g., Psychology, Sociology, Anthropology, Cognitive Science). Experience conducting research with people, preferably with high ecological validity. You should have experience in researching how AI affects thinking and have developed prototypes or systems thatdemonstrate

• Demonstrated ability to build interactive prototypes. Experience creating interfaces with web frameworks, such as React (HTML,Javscript/Typescript). Build backend systems that integrate generative AI with system prompt engineering, using technologies such as NodeJS, Python (e.g.Plotly, Django, Flask,FastAPI). Incorporating UX/UI design tools such as Figma/Sketch into your process. Not required but a plus - experience evaluating LLM/SLM outputs and knowledge of model tuning methods to enhance AI performance, and machine learning frameworks such as TensorFlow andPytorch

• that address real-world scenarios or envision future workflows.

• Communication Skills: Excellent verbal and written communication skills. Ability to translate research findings into practical actions and communicate complex ideas to non-expert audiences.

• Project Management: Strong project and time management skills. Experience working in multi-disciplinary teams and managing multiple projects simultaneously.

• help turn foundational research into interactive AI system prototypes.

• Design and Develop: Create and test interactive prototypes that blend user experiences with machine learning technologies.Your work will help us understand and enhance critical thinking, metacognition, reflection, planning, sensemaking,expertise, learning, and creativity.The AI experiences should either address current work scenarios or explorefuture workflows made possible by AI, showing a deep understanding of their context and accessibility to diverse users.
