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.

The deadline for applications is May *26th*, 2022.
