Doctoral candidate and assistant positions
Online application as a doctoral candidate or Expression of interest to Univ.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. Ludger Schmidt
The Department of Human-Machine Systems Engineering focuses its research and teaching on the user-oriented development of effective and efficient human-machine systems using an interdisciplinary approach. In close interaction between science and practice, we offer you the opportunity to implement innovative concepts and ideas with good equipment and to write an up-to-date and practice-oriented dissertation. We offer you a wide range of personal development opportunities in research and teaching, a pleasant working atmosphere, short decision-making processes and scope for scientific specialization.
In addition to interesting and current research questions, the department offers a modern laboratory infrastructure with a wide range of research opportunities, collaboration in a committed, interdisciplinary team and the job security of public service.
Lighthearted urban on the road
Against the backdrop of climate protection goals and sustainability, do you want to actively contribute to the traffic turnaround by helping to design an assistance system for local public transport that will be implemented in Kassel? The research project Unbeschwert urban unterwegs (U-hoch-3) offers a wide range of opportunities for this in a strong consortium coordinated by the Department of Human-Machine Systems Engineering.
The conception, prototypical development and laboratory/field tests of the assistance system include, on the one hand, the low-barrier information technology design of human-technology interaction of public transportation in vehicles, at stops, in the control center and in personalizable user interfaces such as smart public displays, smart glasses, smart watches and smart phones, and, on the other hand, the user-centered design of human-robot interaction in public spaces and the innovative support of an urban delivery service.
Hessian Future Center
The Hessian Future Center for Human-Centered AI in Production Work (ZuKIPro) serves to enable companies and employees to shape the digital transformation, focusing on supporting small and medium-sized manufacturing companies in Hesse in the participatory introduction of digital technologies and designing them in a human-centered way together with employees.
To this end, a new laboratory has been set up at the department in which assistance systems, e.g. in the area of human-robot collaboration, virtual reality and augmented reality, are presented as demonstrators and "best practice" examples as part of consulting and qualification concepts. The analysis, modeling and simulation of concrete workÂsituations is intended to make solutions practically implementable and facilitate regional transfer to companies. The laboratory-based consulting of companies, the testing of concepts and the further development of the laboratory are therefore further central tasks.
