Postdoctoral Associate, Computer Science and/or Social Science

Job description

Description One or more full-time Post-Doctoral Associate positions in computer science and/or social science , available starting approximately September 2023, for one year with the possibility of extension. Candidates will be appointed in the Center for Collective Intelligence and/or the Computer Science & AI Lab, as appropriate. Successful applicants for this position will have the opportunity to work on cutting-edge, interdisciplinary projects that aim to dramatically rethink how people and AI systems will work together in the future . To do this, the project seeks to build a strong scientific foundation for how AI can augment (as opposed to replace) humans. We will start by combining knowledge from computer science and the social sciences to create online taxonomies and design space maps of many ways humans and AI systems can work together. Then, using these knowledge bases, we will develop AI tools to automatically generate promising ways of combining humans and AI systems to perform different tasks. In the long run, we believe these tools will help rapidly (a) identify use cases for new AI capabilities, (b) specify effective processes and task allocations to humans and compu...
