As Austria's largest research and technology organisation for applied research, we are dedicated to make substantial contributions to solving the major challenges of our time, climate change and digitisation. To achieve our goals, we rely on our specific research, development and technology competencies, which are the basis of our commitment to excellence in all areas. With our open culture of innovation and our motivated, international teams, we are working to position AIT as Austria's leading research institution at the highest international level and to make a positive contribution to the economy and society.
Our Center for Technology Experience located in Vienna, invites applications for Master Theses projects for several topics (see below). In our interdisciplinary team, we focus on future approaches in Human-Computer Interaction and Contextual User Experience. The Center for Technology Experience is acting in a variety of challenging application contexts. We are passionate about addressing the design and development of future human-centered systems to meet diverse needs by exploiting current and future technological building blocks as well as a wide set of human-centred approaches and technologies. By using prototypes, we generate creative concepts and ideas, which are turned into practical and tangible experiences. Subsequently, these experiences are thoroughly studied in terms of their acceptability and functionality.
The master theses projects will be part of the AIT Technology Experience Center´s Next Generation HCI Talents Programme, which offers dedicated skill developments as well as training sessions, collaborative work on shared research topics, and active exchange among students and experts. The programme is designed to foster interdisciplinary learning and support young talents in shaping the future of Human-Computer Interaction in an applied setting.
NEXT GENERATION HCI TALENTS PROGRAMME
* Topic: Multi-Level Measurement of User Status and Detection of User Behaviour Patterns in challenging situations (e.g. stress optimization; AI-driven tool for real-time assessment of challenging training situations; visualization of data)
* Topic: Qualities and Future Forms of Human-AI Interaction (e.g. Virtual Agents for various application scenarios; AI-driven framework to develop Virtual Agents for varying contexts, frameworks for Human-AI quality assessments)
* Topic: Next Generation User-Centered Design and Development (e.g. exploring advanced methods for specific situations; AI as co-creator in specific phases of UCD)
* Topic: Novel approaches to Human-Data Interaction (e.g. sensemaking with interactivity; voice interaction for human-data interaction; multimodal interaction approaches)
* Topic: Multimodal Approaches for Industrial Human-Machine Interfaces (e.g. parameterisation; configuration; human in the loop; personalization; context awareness, situational awareness, multimodal input and output mechanisms)
* Topic: Development of multimodal and tangible XR interaction concepts for training and simulation (e.g. enhancing presence in XR; AI mechanisms in and for XR; XR scenario building; XR based training mechanisms; exploitation of Gaussian Splatting)
* Topic: Future approaches to Technology Enhanced Mechanisms to foster diversity thinking, togetherness and social co-experience (e.g. XR scenarios to foster diversity thinking and awareness; AI-supported tool for the interactive self-assessment and development of diversity and inclusion in organizations; understanding future factors of positive co-experience)
* Topic: New approaches to Technology Enabled Resilience (e.g. incentive approaches towards more recycling; digital interfaces that support mental wellbeing and resilience; behaviour change strategies towards resilience; AI-supported tools to foster resilience in work contexts).
Your Qualifications As An Ingenious Partner
* Ongoing master's studies in Human-Computer Interaction, Human Factors, Computer Science, Multimedia, or related fields
* Existing expertise in the HCI field (e.g. publication experience) and knowledge of relevant research developments and trends
* Good knowledge in executing user research as well as conducting and analysing user studies
* Relevant technical skills in the development of prototypes to showcase future approaches and solutions
* Specific skills related to the dedicated topic (potential topics listed above)
* You are excited about application-oriented challenges in HCI
* High level of commitment and ability to work in a team
* Good language skills in German or English (written & spoken)
What To Expect
* Duration of the master’s thesis project: 6 months and 20 hours/week as the default model
* Start date: as soon as possible
* EUR 1.002,-- gross per month for 20 hours/week based on the collective agreement. There will be additional company benefits. As a research institution, we are familiar with the supervision and execution of master theses, and we are looking forward to supporting you accordingly!
At AIT diversity and inclusion are of great importance. This is why we strive to inspire women to join our teams in the field of technology. We welcome applications from women, who will be given preference in case of equal qualifications after taking into account all relevant facts and circumstances of all applications.
Please submit your application documents including your CV, cover letter, relevant certificates (transcript of records) online.
