As postdoctoral researcher, you will investigate generative AI in Danish upper secondary education while being part of an active international research network.

Who are we?

GAIYA is a research action project that examines generative AI in education through a platform studies perspective, combining qualitative and quantitative methods in authentic teaching contexts. The project produces evidence-based insights to inform future teaching practice and policy development.

The GAIYA project consortium consists of researchers from Aalborg University, Østfold University of Applied Sciences, Gothenburg University, and Tartu University.

Digitalisation is a prioritised research field at Aalborg University, which hosts several thriving hubs for artificial intelligence research, and within this landscape GAIYA serves as an important stronghold for maintaining a humanities perspective on new technological developments.
