Research Opportunity

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD researcher to join our team at Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) to work on a PhD project focused on human-centric AI. The project aims to develop novel human-centric AI algorithms and techniques to enable interactions that allow humans to better understand and trust their AI tools, and that allow AI systems to better understand and support their human users.

Key Research Areas

  • AI learning, planning, and optimization methods that can propose a variety of solutions upon request, allowing for adaptation and refinement of solutions over time.
  • Dynamic world and user models in combination with novel methods for their maintenance from interpreting both direct and indirect feedback from the user.
  • Enhanced algorithms for explaining AI decisions/recommendations that are interactive and responsive to user feedback, allowing for adaptation and refinement of explanations over time.
  • Novel techniques for the collaborative exploration of solutions in a human-AI team, to make the best use of the strengths of both, and ensure human autonomy and agency.

Requirements

  • Candidates are required to have a master's degree in Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, or a related field.
  • Self-drive, enthusiasm, curiosity, and a research-oriented attitude.
  • Interest in combining theory and experiments and well-developed analytical skills.
  • Programming skills e.g. in Python and/or Java.
  • Theoretical knowledge and practical experience with artificial intelligence and sequential decision-making, esp. reinforcement learning and/or planning, are an advantage.
  • Ability to work in an international, interdisciplinary team, and interest in collaborating with industrial partners.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English.

Terms and Conditions

The terms of employment are in accordance with the Dutch Collective Labour Agreement for Research Centres. The initial labour agreement will be for a period of 18 months. After a positive evaluation, the agreement will be extended by 30 months. The gross monthly salary, for a PhD student on a full time basis, is € 2,781 during the first year and increases to €3,562 over the four year period. Employees are also entitled to a holiday allowance of 8% of the gross annual salary and a year-end bonus of 8.33%.
