Functieomschrijving

This post-doctoral project is part of a five-year project on ‘design for positive mood regulation’ of the Delft Institute of Positive Design (DIOPD), funded by NWO (a Vici grant awarded to professor Pieter Desmet). Vici is one of the largest grants for individual scientists in The Netherlands. The overall project aims to develop a theory that (a) details the mechanisms that underlie mood experiences in human-design interaction, and (b) explains how design-supported mood regulation can foster human well-being. The post-doctoral project will develop means for ‘mood-sensitive’ design (education). We are looking for an ambitious post-doctoral researcher to join forces with Prof. Desmet and the team of three PhD students in developing an effective mood-cause questionnaire and tools that facilitate a systematic approach to mood-driven design. The post-doctoral position is for 18 months, to start between March or May first, 2021. The work will be executed at the ID StudioLab at the TU Delft.
