The department of Human-Centred Digitalization (HCD) seeks to enable organisations to exploit the full potential of emerging technologies and analytics by producing state-of-the-art knowledge on how to develop and adapt technology and organisations based on human strengths and limitations.  The department core research areas are human-technology interaction, human-systems performance analysis and evaluation, and work systems design. We perform empirical research in simulator-based operational environments in the MTO-labs as well as in the industry, on how individuals and organisations efficiently and safely interact with increasingly more advanced and intelligent technology; on how research methods can enable integration of new knowledge into the design of systems, operations and on-line decision making; and how adaptive expertise can be engineered into organisations to support performance in changing environments. A substantial part of the research activities are performed within the international OECD Halden Reactor Project and in research projects for the Research Council of Norway. Bilateral and multilateral projects are carried out for the nuclear industry, the petroleum industry, and other industries.

We seek to address the following main questions:
How do individuals interact with increasingly intelligent technologies?
How can we best enable humans to perform in digital organisations?
How can emerging technologies be used for innovating our ways of working?

We invite applications for: Research scientist with competence in organisational  psychology, focusing on organisational development issues

Researcher position to work in the field of environmental industrial processes, with focus on mineral processing by chemical - inorganic and organic - and physical methods, involving CO2 capture and utilization processes and materials production and characterization. 
The candidate has to be able to generate and lead successful research projects in the field, including coordination of project teams, management of project economy and supervision of students when relevant. Experience with European, Norwegian and/or other international research funding programs, as well as industrial projects, is required. He/She is expected to have an established professional network and to expand it into new collaborations with industry and scientific partners.

He/she will be responsible of management and performance of work tasks within research projects, either as the main responsible or coordinated by another project leader. Required skills are:  

• Experience in project management.  

• 5 years experience from industrial or applied research projects.   

VR&AR-avdelingen arbeider med 3D, VR&AR teknologier og lokasjonsbaserte Informasjonssystemer. Avdelingen har 25 års erfaring med å anvende virtuelle prototyper, digitale tvillinger, spill- og simuleringsteknologier til å forske på, utvikle og evaluere løsninger for design av arbeidsmiljøer, arbeidsplanlegging, og trening for sikkerhetskritiske industrier. Vi har et økende antall langsiktige prosjekter for stabile kunder og trenger derfor flere medarbeidere. Vi har et sterkt fokus på menneskesentrert design, åpne filformater, plattformuavhengige programvare og løsninger for samhandling, som kombinerer 3D-teknologier med AI og simulering til beslutningsstøtte og økt situasjonsforståelse. Se www.ife.no/vr for mer informasjon om avdelingen.

Sektor Digitale Systemer ved IFE har verdensledende spisskompetanse innen forskning, design, utvikling, og evaluering av komplekse digitale systemer. Vi er i dag ca. 90 medarbeidere fordelt på syv fagavdelinger.
