The position is linked to the research groups Sustainable Digitalisation (SDI) and Programming, Logic and Intelligent Systems (PLIS). SDI is working within the research areas of Information Systems (IS), Design Science Research (DSR) and/or Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) including Big Data and Data Analytics, while PLIS in addition to traditional theoretical computer science also covers research in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence.
We are looking for an applicant with a strong research profile related to applied data science, preferably within Green IT and sustainability. The applicant will be involved in the GameForGreen project: A game platform that lets society learn green and sustainable behavior through playing. The vision of the GameForGreen project is to develop an innovative game platform that combines serious games and gamification elements with the tracking of real-world data on for example water and heat consumption, waste sorting, transportation and other green areas. The data will be made available by municipalities participating in the GameForGreen project.
The candidate will work and do research affiliated with work package 3: “Create Data Analytics Overview” as well as work package 4 and 6 about building and evaluating the platform (only the data-related part). The main work has the following aims and objectives:
- Identify data sources and repositories for consumers, households as well as employees.
- Explore and analyze available data and data sources.
- Develop a strategy for how to join and validate game play data with data sources.
- Develop machine learning models to predict and dynamically change consumer responses based on game play data.
- Publish state-of-the-art articles related to data science, machine learning and business development within highly regarded Information Systems and Computer Science conferences and journals.
We expect the applicant to participate in, anchor and lead development tasks of work package 3, by engaging both with the 5 project contributors (municipalities and companies) as well as the developers of the game platform. Excerpts of the overall project for the GameForGreen project can be sent on demand by contacting the current principal investigator in the project, Professor Jan Pries-Heje, janph@ruc.dk.
