PI - Call for Postdoctoral fellow candidates at the DEUSTEK/MORElab Research Group

Qualifications required:

• A Doctoral degree in Computer Engineering or a related field. All PhD holders may apply; however, we especially encourage applications from those who completed their PhD in 2023 or later.
• Strong background in at least three of the following: data engineering/analytics (Python/R), time-series and geospatial analysis, machine learning (including uncertainty and model validation), causal inference / impact assessment, IoT/edge computing and sensor data quality, human-centred design and evaluation, behavioural modelling and persuasive technologies, knowledge graphs / semantic technologies. Experience working with multidisciplinary teams and stakeholders (public administrations, communities) is a plus.

Evaluation criteria for candidates:

• Quality and relevance of scientific publications in journals, books, or book chapters, including open-access publications.
• Experience and contribution  in research projects.
• Relevance of work presented at scientific or technical conferences.
• Recognition received through awards, honors, or distinctions.
• Scope and impact of participation in scientific outreach activities.
• International research stays with a duration of more than four weeks.
• Candidates who meet the Marie Curie international mobility criteria—i.e., those who have not lived, worked, or studied in Spain for more than 12 months during the three years immediately prior to the application deadline—will be given positive consideration, though meeting this criterion is not required.

Other valuable aspects:

• Evidence of publications or demonstrators related to Human-Environment Interaction, IoT/smart environments, linked data/knowledge graphs, or data-driven behaviour change.
• Experience in EU collaborative projects and in co-design / citizen science processes.
• Commitment to responsible AI, privacy-by-design and ethical handling of data.
• We are looking for a person with professional competences, empathy, ability to work in a team, motivation for innovation and research, ability to adapt, and that identifies with the mission of the University of Deusto. 
• The University of Deusto supports the inclusion of people with disabilities. It therefore encourages this condition to be indicated in applications in the case of having a certificate of disability equal to or greater than 33%
