Do you want to conduct a bachelor- or master thesis regarding assessment of mental workload, decision-making, human-computer interaction, work stress and how these relate to the human-system design of our Airborne Early Warning & Control system?



Your role

In the Airborne Early Warning & Control (AEW&C) system, the operator needs to perform multiple tasks, use communication tools and simultaneously handle several different applications during a mission. In practice, this means that the operator is exposed to a high mental workload during certain periods of the mission.

• Excellent communication skills in English, verbal and written

• Skills regarding human-computer interaction design

• Skills regarding cognitive science and psychology



Desired skills:

• Skills in complex software systems
