The Center for Human-Engaged Computing (CHEC) at Kochi University of
Technology is recruiting one Research Associate (Post-doctoral Researcher).
CHEC (*http://xrenlab.com <http://xiangshiren.com/>*) which is directed by
Prof. Xiangshi Ren (*http://xiangshiren.com <http://xiangshiren.com/>*) is
one of the world’s leading HCI labs with a variety of research interests,
and is active in world-wide HCI community. HEC-related studies are
concerned with the development of synergized interaction between humans and
computers with a particular focus on innate human potential and human
well-being. Currently, we focus on the study of engagement, aging issues
and computational aesthetics.
We are seeking outstanding candidates with relevant background in
Human-Computer Interaction, Computational Modeling, Data Sciences,
Cognitive Science, or Machine Learning.
A strong interest in applying computational methods to human-computer
interaction is required (e.g., human behavior modeling, computational user
interface design). Technical experiences in areas such as inverse modeling,
deep learning, generative models, and reinforcement learning would be very
useful. Applicants should have excellent programming skills (e.g.,
Python)., and a solid history of publications at top conferences such as
CHI, UIST or the top-pier conference in applicants’ fields.
The applicant will also assist in the supervision of a research team of
mutually supportive PhD, MSc and BS. students in various projects.
The applicant may be required to support the center’s director in managing
some administration work.
Fluent English writing and presentation skills are essential.
