Senior Researcher – Postdoc (f/m/d)
Join us in shaping the future of Human-Centred and Agentic Artificial Intelligence.
Artificial Intelligence is evolving from reactive algorithms to autonomous agents capable of decision-making and strategic planning. In an exciting new research project, a multi-discpilinary team of researchers with backgrounds from computer science, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, human-computer interaction and science and technology studies will investigate how these agents interact with humans, AI systems, and environments. The project investigates multi-agent collaboration in data-intensive scenarios, energy-efficient agentic AI, reasoning capabilities of multi-agent AI, human-AI synergetic task performance, tracing and explaining decisions in multi-agent AI systems, and modelling actors, interactions and agency in such systems.
We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to conduct own research, to coordinate scientific collaboration in the interdisciplinary team of senior researchers and six doctoral students, and to facilitate cross-sectoral collaboration between research and industry to pave the way for take-up of research results by local industry.
