Open Positions:
PhD Studentship - Human-AI Collaboration for Resilient Emergency Care - University of York
The University of York are inviting applications for a PhD studentship in Human-AI Collaboration for Resilient Emergency Care within the Computer Science department, as part of the EPSRC funded Trustworthy Autonomous Systems project.
The project will investigate methods for representing and reasoning about interaction between emergency operators and AI-enabled autonomous systems, with the aim to enable their resilient collaboration through coordination and adaptation.
The PhD student will have the unique opportunity to collaborate with a multidisciplinary team from Computer Science and Emergency Care, and with stakeholders ranging from developers and emergency responders to regulators and end users. The studentship is designed to offer exceptional access to resources, training and career development and networking opportunities. Candidates are invited to familiarise themselves with the aims of the Resilience node
The successful candidate will conduct their research under the supervision of Professor Radu Calinescu at the University of York, Dr Amel Bennaceur at the Open University, and Dr Nigel Rees, Assistant Director of Research & Innovation at the Welsh Ambulance Service NHS Trust.

PhD Studentship - Human Factors of trustworthy autonomous transport systems - University of Southampton
The University of Southampton are inviting applications for a PhD studentship in Human Factors within the Transportation Research Group as part of the EPSRC funded Trustworthy Autonomous Systems project.
This PhD will sit within the Human Factors Engineering team within the Transportation Research Group and will focus on issues relating to trust in autonomous transportation systems. The scope of the project can be tailored to suit the interests of the applicant, but possible ideas include looking at the interaction between autonomous vehicles and vulnerable road users, such as active travellers. We are also interested in exploring new methods and developing a tool kit to assess Human Factors in relation to autonomous systems. Furthermore, there is an interest in reviewing the equality, diversity and inclusivity challenges within the transport domain and the development of autonomous systems.
