Project details

The complexity of decision making in the Defence Electromagnetic Environment (EME) context is increasing. Some drivers for this include the complexity of systems; too much/ not enough/ uncertain data; required speed of decision making. For decision making to be implemented successfully (at both operational and wider enterprise level) we need to appreciate perception and potential impact (trust, situational awareness, wellbeing) for all stakeholders.

The research will investigate how to support and enable teams and individuals in high performance environments, to enhance efficiency of the overall system. The project will bring insight from a range of industrial sectors to encourage a multi-disciplinary approach.

We are looking for candidates with a background in ergonomics, human factors, systems engineering or psychology. We expect successful candidates to be familiar with a range of data collection and statistical analysis methods, although support and training in research methods would be provided.
