About Keele University

Basic information and contact details for Keele University

Keele University is a campus university located in the UK county of North Staffordshire.

Keele is ideally situated in the heart of the UK, right by the bustling university town of Newcastle-under-Lyme and under one hour from both Manchester and Birmingham. It is close to the Peak District, a picturesque national park renowned for its natural beauty.

Everything is on your doorstep at Keele. The university itself sits in the middle of a 630 acre estate surrounded by woods, lakes and parkland, and student accommodation, teaching buildings, restaurants and cafés, a sports centre, and medical centre are all within easy reach.

Founded in 1949 by A.D. Lindsay, former Vice-Chancellor of the University of Oxford, Keele was the first new university of the 20th Century and remains true to its original mission today.

The university’s founding ethos ‘the pursuit of truth in the company of friends’ still guides the institution, with teaching conducted in small groups and a reputation for world-leading research undertaken in a thriving campus-based community.

Recent developments on Keele's campus include a £45m investment in its science facilities, including the David Attenborough Laboratories in the School of Life Sciences, and the new £34m Central Science Laboratories in the heart of campus, providing students with state-of-the-art equipment and facilities.

Keele's new multi-million pound Smart Innovation Hub, home to Keele Business School and a host of local companies, also represents a significant investment in the campus and the wider region. The University also boasts a 70 acre development site for its Science and Innovation Park with 50 companies employing over 600 people currently hosted on its existing Science and Business Park.

Keele prides itself on being one of the most environmentally aware universities in the UK, emphasising sustainability and ethical choices in all its campus initiatives. It was one of the first universities to declare a climate emergency and has set ambitious plans to become Carbon Neutral by 2030. They have invested over £1.2m in carbon reduction over the past six years, with the campus serving as a “living laboratory” for ground-breaking sustainability and green technology research.

Its location is home to a wealth of biodiversity and resources that allow students and staff to engage with the sustainability agenda. They include a scheme where students can grow their own food on campus, an allotment scheme open to the public, and an arboretum with over 240 varieties of cherry trees which have been awarded National Collection status by the conservation charity, Plant Heritage.

institution

University of Helsinki

Finland, Helsingfors (Helsinki)


The Faculty of Educational Sciences invites applications for the position of Postdoctoral Researcher for a fixed-term appointment for 3 years, starting in September 2026 or as agreed. The position is embedded in the AI-EMOTION project (Academic emotions in the AI learning era). AI-EMOTION is a European Research Council (ERC) funded project at the Faculty of Educational Sciences, University of Helsinki, led by Principal Investigator Dr. Elina Ketonen. We investigate what happens emotionally when students use AI tools in learning: how affect influences engagement, motivation and interaction in AI-mediated learning situations. The project brings together expertise from learning sciences, computer science and psychophysiology. Our aim is to advance theory on affective processes in human-computer interaction and to develop novel multimodal methods to measure and model emotions in real-world learning environments.  Job description The successful candidate will investigate academic emotions and emotional well-being in technology-mediated learning, with a focus on psychophysiological indicators of emotions in ecologically valid learning settings. The position contributes to the AI-EMOTION project by combining wearable sensor data (e.g., cardiac and electrodermal signals) with event-based self-reports (experience sampling). A central task is to drive methodological development by advancing and validating sensor data processing and feature extraction workflows, and by developing approaches to integrate these outputs with self-reports to model students’ emotions beyond laboratory settings. The work duties of the selected candidate include:  Planning and implementing data collection in real-world learning contexts (including wearable-sensor measurements and experience sampling via smartphones)  Processing and analyzing wearable-sensor data (e.g., preprocessing, artefact handling, feature extraction, synchronization/alignment with experience-sampling prompts)  Statistical modelling and analyses of collected multimodal data (e.g., within-person dynamics, multilevel models, dynamic models/time-series approaches)  Publishing results in high-quality international scientific journals and presenting findings at major conferences  Supporting project coordination and administration as agreed (e.g., contributing to reporting, documentation, data management practices, project deliverables)  Teamwork within the multidisciplinary research group (e.g., learning sciences, educational psychology, computer science)  Small-scale supervision and/or teaching tasks as agreed (e.g., co-supervision of theses, supporting research training within the project).  Qualification requirements and selection criteria We are looking for a creative and forward-thinking post doc who has (or is close to completing) a PhD in a relevant field (e.g., educational sciences, psychology, cognitive science, health sciences/biomedical engineering, data science) and demonstrate the ability to conduct independent, innovative and high-quality research. The successful candidate should have expertise in psychophysiological measurement and/or wearable-sensor data analysis, including signal processing and feature extraction, and a strong interest in studying emotions and well-being in technology-mediated learning, with a particular focus on AI. Excellent written and spoken English, as well as strong communication and collaboration skills, are essential given the interdisciplinary nature of the project. Experience with multimodal data integration, research with relevance to the project area and demonstrated experience of methodological development are considered merits. The position involves some fieldwork with study participants across the University of Helsinki’s campuses during the data collection, and regular on-site work at the University of Helsinki City Centre Campus. The appointee is expected to reside in Finland while employed by the University of Helsinki. The Faculty of Educational Sciences provides assistance in relocation. We offer The position offers a unique opportunity to work as part of an eager and ambitious team and contribute to delivering breakthrough research within an ERC-funded project.  The Faculty of Educational Sciences is a dynamic, inspiring and international working and studying environment that has invested in state-of-the-art research and teaching infrastructure.
