The Human Factors Department at the University of Ulm, headed by Prof. Martin Baumann, is generally concerned with questions of the design and development of human-technology interaction (HMI) prototypes and the psychological foundations of HMI. A major field of application is the interaction of drivers with intelligent assistance systems and automated driving functions in traffic. We are looking for a research assistant with a background in computer science or related disciplines who is interested in the scientifically based development and testing of HMI concepts, especially for automotive user interfaces and/or in the area of human-robot interaction, and who is highly motivated to conduct research in a scientific and interdisciplinary team with the goal of creating a safe, efficient and sustainable human-machine system.

We are a young, interdisciplinary and international team with close collaborations with computer science and engineering, and offer a world-class experimental infrastructure for research in HMI. Opportunities to work on industry and EU projects are planned during the course of employment. Within the scope of the job, opportunities for doctoral studies will be offered and supported in the best possible way.
