Örebro University is currently offering research study opportunities on the doctoral programme in Computer Science. For the successful candidate, the programme will conclude with the award of the Degree of Doctor Philosophy in Computer Science. The start date of the programme is in the autumn of 2019 or spring of 2020.

This PhD position is funded by the Wallenberg Artificial Intelligence, Autonomous Systems and Software Program (WASP, wasp-sweden.org), a major Swedish national initiative for strategically motivated basic research, education and faculty recruitment in autonomous systems and software development, with the ambition to advance Sweden into an internationally recognized and leading position in these areas.

The research topic for this PhD position is to devise and implement new artificial intelligence-based systems to monitor and asses the quality of life of citizens, with main focus on mental well-being. Target populations of this system include elderly people living independently, and people at risk of developing negative mental states (stress, anxiety, and depression), among others.

Machine learning will be used to estimate in real time the mental well-being of people. This includes mood (happiness, sadness, sleepiness, etc), and negative states (stress, anxiety) in order to assess the potential risk for a depression of people during their daily life activities. Assessment will be based on data from different sources including sensors, activity patterns, mental assessment, daily agenda, and so on. New ways of data collection will also be researched. An important question to be answered will be what are the relevant data and the relevant moods when it comes to the assessment of mental well-being.

The PhD candidate is expected to collaborate with other lab members working in related topics, and to have an open attitude toward multi-disciplinary research and toward working with end-users.
