JOB DESCRIPTION<br>
You will work on an exciting project on Hybrid-Intelligence, which is
funded by a 10 year Gravitation Grant from the Dutch Ministry of
Education, Culture and Science and brings together many prominent AI
researchers in the Netherlands
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.hybrid-intelligence-centre.nl/">https://www.hybrid-intelligence-centre.nl/</a>). Hybrid Intelligence (HI)
is the combination of human and machine intelligence, expanding human
intellect instead of replacing it. HI takes human expertise and
intentionality into account when making meaningful decisions and
performing appropriate actions, together with ethical, legal and
societal values. The vision of the project is to design Hybrid
Intelligent systems, an approach to Artificial Intelligence that puts
humans at the centre, changing the course of the ongoing AI revolution.<br>
<br>
This position will serve two purposes:<br>
<br>
- contribute to shaping Hybrid Intelligence as an
internationally-recognized area of research; A key goal of this PostDoc
position is to scientifically investigate Hybrid Intelligence and
contribute toward establishing it as a research field. Your role in the
project will be to lead the effort to develop a methodology to identify
the levels of hybrid intelligence, design the metrics or processes to
measure or assess them, and create use-cases to demonstrate different
levels.<br>
<br>
- contribute to the activities of the Hybrid-Intelligence Consortium in
establishing and supporting synergies among the individual projects
towards the consortium’s goals: The Hybrid Intelligence program consists
of many smaller projects that are taken by PhDs and PostDocs to develop
Hybrid Intelligence. We aim that the developed methodologies can be
used to evaluate how well these projects provide solutions for hybrid
intelligence as well as design new use-cases, scenarios or datasets to
bring out the hybrid character of individual projects and establish
synergies between them. In order to facilitate this, you will interact
frequently with the consortium members. These interactions will include
regular research meetings and will lead to co-authored papers.<br>
<br>
This postdoc position will be based in the Department of Information and
Computing Sciences of Utrecht University. You will be part of a
dedicated group of researchers from different universities that work in a
consortium. The group currently consists of Pınar Yolum (UU), Davide
Grossi (RUG), Catholijn Jonker (TU Delft), Pradeep Murukannaiah (TU
Delft)and Catharine Oertel (TU Delft). Your position will be within a
team at the heart of the consortium that has the ambition to deliver
concrete hybrid intelligent output gathered from the broad range of
running projects.<br>
<br>
The position is available from March 1st, 2022 (starting date flexible).<br>
<br>
