Postdoc on Happy Maps at King's College

[daniele...@gmail.com]

The Center of Urban Science and Progress (CUSP) at King's College London is looking for a postdoc to work on emotions-driven routing engines able to suggest a happy and pleasant path over the shortest, and urban design policies that favor the human factor over a city built around efficiency, predictability, and security alone. 

 
The successful candidate will: 
- Map emotional perceptions of urban places from crowdsourced geo-referenced visual and textual data and modelling them in spatio-temporal ways. 
- Develop a routing tool that generates sensory and emotion-aware routes.  
- Qualitatively and quantitatively evaluate the impact of the tool on its users' well-being over existing tools based only on efficiency and topological criteria. 

Please apply here

Please feel free to forward this call to anybody who might be interested. I would be happy to answer any question. 

cheers,
