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:

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

**** Research
assistant/PhD student in
A.I. network SAIL
You are part of the
research network SAIL
(SustAInable Life-cycle of
Intelligent
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.
