Context. The International Research Centre of Innovative systems and services for transport and production (CIR-ITPS) hosted by University of Clermont Auvergne (UCA) and involving various disciplines (psychology, sociology, ergonomics, engineering) invites applications for a postdoctoral fellowship on acceptance of agricultural robotics (12 months of funding).
Your profile. The applicants, doctors in social sciences (psychology, sociology, anthropology, or ergonomics), are expected to (i) produce literature review on the topic; (ii) run focus groups with potential adopters; (iii) set up statistical treatments to define possible adopters’ profiles and the underlying variables; (iv) present results within the consortium and with the international research community.
Key deadlines and application. Please submit your application (including your current CV, motivation letter, and one-page overview of your research proposition) in a pdf format until March 25, 2024, by sending an email to ladislav.motak@uca.fr If selected, an (on-line) interview will take place shortly in April 24.
Hosting lab and research environment. The Laboratoire de Psychologie Sociale et Cognitive (LAPSCO–UMR UCA-CNRS 6024) is one of the leading CNRS (national research organization) units in social psychology in France. Its research is focused on social regulation of cognitive activities in human and non-human individuals, within such domains as health, education (or e-education), technological acceptance, etc. The postdoctoral fellow will join the Social behavior and collective dynamics subsection of the lab, while exchanging on a regular basis with other members of the agricultural robotics team, Nicolas Tricot (INRAE-TSCF, head of the project) and Fabien Coutarel (ACTé).
