Job Summary
Posting Description
Postdoctoral Research Associate MIT AgeLab and MIT Center for Transportation & Logistics for a one-year appointment renewable based on performance and funding. The position supports engineering-driven research on real-world driving behavior automation and safety using large-scale multimodal data. Will work with extensive naturalistic driving datasets simulation platforms and traffic models to develop methods that infer model and predict driver state behavior and interaction with advanced vehicle systems and autonomous driving. The role involves close collaboration with senior researchers to design studies develop scalable data extraction and analysis methods and build models that connect sensing behavior and system performance. Postdocs are expected to lead and contribute to peer-reviewed publications present findings at technical conferences engage with research partners and help define new research directions at the intersection of human behavior and intelligent systems.
