*Early notice*
<br>Call for applications - Science of Intelligence Berlin - Cluster of
<br>Excellence
<br>
<br>6 PhD and 5 Postdoc positions
<br>
<br>Cross-disciplinary research in artificial intelligence, machine learning,
<br>control, robotics, computer vision, behavioral biology, cognitive science,
<br>psychology, educational science, neuroscience, and philosophy.
<br>
<br>Starting dates: Summer / Fall 2020
<br>Duration: 3 years
<br>Salary level: TV-L 13, 100%
<br>
<br>What are the principles of intelligence, shared by all forms of intelligence,
<br>no matter whether artificial or biological, whether robot, computer program,
<br>human, or animal? And how can we apply these principles to create intelligent
<br>technology? Answering these questions - in an ethically responsible way - is
<br>the central scientific objective of the new Cluster of Excellence Science of
<br>Intelligence.
<br>
<br>Researchers from a multitude of analytic and synthetic disciplines -
<br>artificial intelligence, machine learning, control, robotics, computer vision,
<br>behavioral biology, cognitive science, psychology, educational science,
<br>neuroscience, and philosophy - join forces to create a multi-disciplinary
<br>research program across universities and research institutes in Berlin.
<br>
<br>Our approach is driven by the insight, that any method, concept, and theory
<br>must demonstrate its merits by contributing to the intelligent behavior of a
<br>synthetic artifact, such as a robot or a computer program. These artifacts
<br>represent the shared "language" across disciplines, enabling the validation,
<br>combination, transfer, and extension of research results. Thus we expect to
<br>attain cohesion among disciplines, which currently produce their own theories
<br>and empirical findings about aspects of intelligence.
<br>
<br>Interdisciplinary research projects have been defined which combine analytic
<br>and synthetic research and which address key aspects of individual, social,
<br>and collective intelligence.
<br>In addition, the Science of Intelligence graduate program promotes the
<br>cross-disciplinary education of young scientists on a Master, PhD, and
<br>postdoctoral level. All PhD students associated with the cluster are expected
<br>to join the Science of Intelligence doctoral
<br>program.
<br>
<br>Stay tuned for more information on application deadline and procedure!
