Dear colleagues, the Eindhoven University of Technology (The Netherlands) offers a fully funded Ph.D. position (4 years) on Learning Analytics & student well-being. Deadline for online applications: October 23, 2022. More information: https://jobs.tue.nl/nl/vacature/phd-on-learning-analytics-for-supporting-student-wellbeing-959419.html short summary: In this Ph.D. project, you will use learning analytics to monitor and improve student well-being in higher education in blended courses. In the first phase, you will develop predictive models based on students' online behavior (e.g., clickstream data) to monitor student well-being. These prediction models will be evaluated across different student groups. In the second phase, you will iteratively design and develop feedback, such as learner dashboards, as part of larger interventions aimed at strengthening students' academic resilience. You will take into account the relevant scientific theories and empirical findings on educational interventions that target student well-being. These interventions and feedback will be personalized, using information on an individual student's learning process. The final interventions will be evaluated in selected courses at TU/e in field experiments. Requirements: - Recently completed (or be close to the completion of) a Master's degree in Human-Computer Interaction, Cognitive or Educational Psychology, Educational sciences, Educational Sociology, or a related field that shows an interest in both data analysis as well as psychology. - Demonstrable experience in conducting empirical and/or experimental research, including knowledge of and demonstrable experience with applying (state-of-the-art) statistical techniques. - Experience with data wrangling (e.g., in R or Python). - Excellent mastering of the English language and good communication skills. Note that there is no Dutch language requirement. The position is located within the Human-Technology Interaction Group. The HTI group concentrates expertise in social sciences - particularly psychology - and engineering, studying technology in the service of human wellbeing within the broader context of a socially and ecologically sustainable society. Feel free to contact me for more information.
