The Social Cognitive Systems Group (Prof. Stefan Kopp;
https://scs.techfak.uni-bielefeld.de)
is seeking highly motivated candidates for two researcher/PhD student
positions
(TVL E13 100%) to be filled as soon as possible and for the next three
(or more) years:
**** Researcher and faculty staff in the SCS group (three years with
possible extension)
You are part of the core staff of the research group, involved in the
research, teaching, and
(partly) administrative activities of the group. Regarding research, you
will actively contribute
to the group's research on machine learning-based methods for
human-aware A.I. (e.g. in
the form of intelligent assistants and collaborative or socially
assistive robots). You can
make use of the group’s excellent lab infrastructure at CITEC. Your
specific research topic
can be determined in accordance with the group’s agenda and you will be
encouraged to
obtain a PhD degree on this. You teaching will involve organizing
tutorials, seminars, or
student projects and supervising BSc/MSc theses in Cognitive Computer
Science or
Intelligent Systems. You will be hired for three years, with a possible
extension of two
more years.

**** Research assistant/PhD student in A.I. network SAIL
You are part of the research network SAIL (SustAInable Life-cycle of
Intelligent
Socio-Technical Systems;
https://jaii.eu/sail/), funded by the Ministry
of Culture and
Science of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, and run by Bielefeld U
and U of Paderborn
together with two other universities of applied science in East
Westphalia. You will be
working on the subproject "Long-term interaction memories for teachable
assistance”,
mainly coordinated by the SCS group but carried out in collaboration
with colleagues
from U of Paderborn (Prof. K. Rohlfing; Psycholinguistics). Your task is
to develop ML-based
representations for interaction memories of assistive systems that can
support people with
special needs. The goal is realize a virtual „teachable" personal
assistant that builds up
an interaction memory with a user (using natural language processing and
demonstrations)
and employs it for selecting assistive behavior in related situations,
respecting privacy
concerns. This work will possibly be carried out in cooperation with
regional care homes.
