We offer a 3-year position (starting, 01.07.2026, fulltime) to a speech scientist or engineer within the Transregional Collaborative Research Center (TRR 318) “Constructing Explainability,” which is jointly run by the Universities of Paderborn and Bielefeld. The TRR investigates how algorithmic transparency can be promoted, particularly in the context of black-box models as used in modern artificial intelligence systems. The position can be used for further academic qualification.

Our subproject deals with explanatory strategies for recognizing stress in clinical explanatory situations based on multimodal signals (facial expressions and voice). We are developing tools that help clinical staff to better recognize the presence of stress in neurodiverse and neurotypical populations.
