PhD position in Human-Robot Interaction and Social Decision Making at KTH

February 21, 2022

PhD position in Human-Robot Interaction and Social Decision Making at KTH

We are looking for a PhD student that will work in a newly funded project called “Relying on a Robot – How Agency and Anthropomorphism in Human-Centered AI Affects Social Decision Making”. The project is led by Prof. Gabriel Skantze at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, in collaboration with researchers from Stockholm University and Stockholm School of Economics. The aim of this interdisciplinary project is to investigate how human-like traits (agency and anthropomorphism) in social robots and AI affect how humans interact with the technology, with respect to psychological and social factors critical for social decision making, including trust, reciprocity and honesty. To study this, we will develop a novel set of experimental paradigms, influenced by economic games used in behavioral economics.

Application deadline is April 1.
