This position will be part of Work Package 2, User Modelling, Personalisation & Engagement at MediaFutures, focused on the development of novel user modeling and personalisation techniques capable of effectively eliciting user preferences in order to enhance the user experience when interacting with media content while at the same time taking into account important competing factors such as business values, editorial norms, professional ethics, societal values, individual values, and algorithmic fairness.
The research questions we are interested in pursuing in this work package are: To what extent can we effectively, innovatively, and responsibly model online user behaviour and predict their future behaviour? To what extent can we personalise and engage users online to efficiently keep them informed, and at the same time do this responsibly?
The work will include conducting literature studies, surveys, and using the gained knowledge to develop user models, personalization and engagement technology. Research will be conducted by developing models or interfaces and performing simulation studies using qualitative and/or quantitative methods. Furthermore, the candidate will perform user studies to evaluate the technology developed employing statistical methods and will perform field tests with the industry partners to evaluate the technology’s impact.
The work will be performed in close collaboration with the industry partners in the centre. Expected outputs of the work include publication of high-impact papers, demos with code repositories and novel types of data and insights, e.g., in the form of reports both for academia and industry partners in the centre.

About the positionThe Department of Plant Science, Faculty of Biosciences at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU) has a vacant three-year PhD–position related to plant photobiology.The PhD project is closely associated with the FlexiFarm project: “Flexible Farming Solutions to Minimize Energy Expenditure and Create New Revenue Streams in Vertical Farming”. The project aims to understand the energy flexibility of vertical farms (VFs) by studying how fluctuating lighting and temperature affect productivity. By following spot market prices and using energy when prices are low, VFs can drastically reduce their energy costs, though this is only viable if crop yield is not affected by fluctuating conditions. As photosynthesis is such a crucial factor underlying crop yield in both ope...
