<br>Postdoctoral Project: Ethics of responsible design in robotics and AI
<br>https://www.scienceofintelligence.de/call-for-applications/open-positions/project-ethics-of-responsible-design-in-robotics-and-ai/
<br>
<br>The Science of Intelligence Berlin - Cluster of Excellence announces the
<br>call for application for 11 PhD and 12 Postdoc positions dedicated to
<br>the cross-disciplinary research in artificial intelligence, machine
<br>learning, control, robotics, computer vision, behavioral biology,
<br>cognitive science, psychology, educational science, neuroscience, and
<br>philosophy.
<br>
<br>Starting dates: Summer / Fall 2019
<br>Duration: 3 years
<br>Salary level: TV-L 13, 100%
<br>
<br>What are the principles of intelligence, shared by all forms of
<br>intelligence, no matter whether artificial or biological, whether robot,
<br>computer program, human, or animal? And how can we apply these
<br>principles to create intelligent technology? Answering these questions -
<br>in an ethically responsible way - is the central scientific objective of
<br>the new Cluster of Excellence Science of Intelligence (www.scioi.de).
<br>
<br>Researchers from a large number of analytic and synthetic disciplines -
<br>artificial intelligence, machine learning, control, robotics, computer
<br>vision, behavioral biology, cognitive science, psychology, educational
<br>science, neuroscience, and philosophy - join forces to create a
<br>multi-disciplinary research program across universities and research
<br>institutes in Berlin. Our approach is driven by the insight, that any
<br>method, concept, and theory must demonstrate its merits by contributing
<br>to the intelligent behavior of a synthetic artifact, such as a robot or
<br>a computer program. These artifacts represent the shared “language”
<br>across disciplines, enabling the validation, combination, transfer, and
<br>extension of research results. Thus we expect to attain cohesion among
<br>disciplines, which currently produce their own theories and empirical
<br>findings about aspects of intelligence.
<br>
<br>Interdisciplinary research projects have been defined which combine
<br>analytic and synthetic research and which address key aspects of
<br>individual, social, and collective intelligence. In addition the Science
<br>of Intelligence graduate program promotes the cross-disciplinary
<br>education of young scientists on a Master, PhD, and postdoctoral level.
<br>All PhD students associated with the cluster are expected to join the
<br>Science of Intelligence doctoral program
<br>(www.scioi.de/education/doctoral-program).
<br>
<br>The cluster welcomes applications from all disciplines that contribute
<br>to intelligence research. Applications shall be uploaded through the
<br>application portal
<br>(www.scioi.de/call-for-applications/application-process), where details
<br>of the individual research projects
<br>(www.scioi.de/call-for-applications/open-positions) are also available.
<br>Please submit your applications by 15 February 2019 in order to receive
<br>full consideration. Applicants wishing to apply for several projects
<br>need to upload separate applications for each project.
