Some of the essential functionalities of the Postdoctoral Research are to advise graduate and undergraduate students, support development of AI agents, discover new approaches that facilitate the interaction of AI agents with human teammates and prepare/submit scientific manuscripts. The postdoctoral researcher will be integral to the success of three collaborative research projects and will amplify the impact of our team, lab, department, and college. The postdoctoral researcher will also provide mentoring support to other students within the lab and facilitate collaboration across the two projects and across institutions.

Job Responsibilities

• Human-Guided Machine Learning for Futuristic Human-Machine Teaming--create interactive machine learning techniques that enable more effective teaming between humans and machines.
• Co-evolution of Human-AI Adaptation--develop a set of asymmetric cooperative multiplayer games that can serve as a testbed for humans and AI agents to partner up to solve problems.
• Building Adaptable Machine Teammates with Human-Like Learning. -- to create AI models with a hybridized neural-symbolic architecture that could enable faster, more accurate problem-solving at a large scale, while remaining adaptable to evolving situations.

Hybrid Working

This is a hybrid working position.

A PhD (or anticipated PhD) in computer science, information science, human-computer interaction.

Preferred candidates will have a strong background in artificial intelligence (AI), particularly in areas such as cognitive systems, cognitive architectures, knowledge-based AI, and interactive task learning.
