PhD position in Computational Dialogue Modeling @ Bielefeld University, Germany

October 2, 2025

We are currently looking for PhD-student
in Multimodal Conversational HCI @ Bielefeld University, Germany

Environment: Collaborative Research Center TRR 318 “Constructing Explainability”

– Project A02: Monitoring the Understanding of Explanations (https://trr318.uni-paderborn.de/)
– PIs: Prof. Dr. Hendrik Buschmeier, Dr. Angela Grimminger, Prof. Dr. Petra Wagner

The project’s objective is to process multimodal signals indicating whether a user understands or does not understand explanations in human-agent explanatory dialogue.

– Multimodal signal processing, based on recent theoretical advances of Judith Holler and Stephen Levinson (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tics.2019.05.006)
– Development and evaluation of state-of-the-art computational models for monitoring user understanding in context of explanations
– Interdisciplinary team (phonetics/psycholinguistics/computational linguistics/human-machine interaction), situated in a large interdisciplinary research centre with fantastic support structures
