The postdoc training and mentoring will be in:

1. Helping to advance research in human-automation interaction.
2. Helping to establish in the professional community.
3. Helping to get familiar with writing proposals.
4. Helping & supervising in graduate & undergraduate students advising.

The research project will study how human users (as a driver or AV user) interact with AVs on the road to investigate a set of problems like (1) how human drivers decide whether to cooperate with AVs (e.g., to yield or not) and (2) how AV users decide whether to accept the cooperation from the algorithmic design? We are interested in learning the influential factors in such human-AV interactions, the decision-making process from the cognitive and/or behavioral economics perspective, and how to develop strategies to promote human-AV cooperation (e.g., via improved communication design, or nudging).

We expect to utilize a simulator network consisting of multiple connected driving simulators (i.e., with embedded connectivity).

Responsibilities include (1) designing and implementing research experiments, (2) conducting data analysis, and (3) paper writing.

Other Work/Responsibilities:

Other responsibilities include (1) supervising graduate students in research, and (2) developing research proposals.

Work Schedule:

M-F, 8 AM-5PM unless noted otherwise

Department Required Skills:

• PhD degree in transportation, economics, industrial engineering, psychology, or a related field.
• Excellent communication skills. Self-motivated with professional work ethics.
• Highly desired experience in one or more of these areas: behavioral economics, human factors, statistics, and experimental design.

Preferred Years Experience, Skills, Training, Education:

Experience in one or more of these areas: multi-agent interaction, driving simulators, game theory, and human-computer interaction

Required License or Certification: N/A

Valid NC Driver's License required?: No

Commercial Driver's License Required?: No

Anticipated Hiring Range: $58,656-$60,000
