Kaunas University of Technology (herein after KTU) is looking for an ambitious and motivated young researcher, who wants to bring together his/her first research team and lead the research project under the funding measure No. 12-003-03-06-01 "My First Research Team."

The position is open to a researcher who is starting his/her research career and is ready to lead an independent research group in the thematic area identified below. This is a unique opportunity to expand the boundaries of scientific knowledge, gain experience in project implementation, and bring together a team for the first time as a project manager.

The thematic area of the project

"Stress detection and analysis system prototype".

Description of the thematic area

Project problematic is: teachers often encounter stressful situations and burnout in their work, which can eventually lead to more complex health problems or encourage them to change professions. Lithuania is already experiencing a significant shortage of teachers, with a considerable number of young professionals ending their careers.

The aim of the research is to create a technological solution that would detect stress in teachers and provide feedback to help reduce stress.

Expected scientific results:

• • New stress recognition algorithms;
• • A collection of physiological signal data for stress recognition that can be reused in other scientific research.

Expected technological results:

• • A technological solution for stress recognition and its architecture.

Expected practical results:

• • Prototype of a stress recognition system and its demonstration.
• • Typical stressful situations for teachers recreated in virtual reality, which can be used in other areas (e.g., training young professionals).

We offer a 3-year project-based employment contract and up to €374,500 in funding for the implementation of the research project. These funds cover the salary of the young researcher, who will work on a full-time basis, and the project team, as well as travel expenses, the purchase of goods and services, and other expenses necessary for the implementation of the research project.

The start date of the project is no later than September 1, 2026.

Main responsibilities:

• • to organise and coordinate project activities according to the provisions of the project financing and/or joint venture agreement and to monitor the timetables for their implementation;
• • to conduct research and experimental development activities scheduled in the project;
• • to publishe the results of the research conducted in the project in scientific publications; to announce the results of the research conducted in the project in the presentations at scientific conferences;
• • to analyse, summarise and document the results achieved in the project;
• • to care the publicity and dissemination of the results of the project;
• • to participate in the preparation of project performance reports;
• • to make decisions within his/her competence necessary for the implementation of the objectives defined in the project plan;
• • to make sure that appropriate methods and measures are used in the implementation of the project;
• • to cooperate with the project team for the achievement of the project objectives.
