[Apologies for multiple postings. This is a final call for applications in the following project:] AI Secure and Explainable by Construction: Multiple Research Positions (3 Doctoral, 5 Post-doctoral) available at Heriot-Watt, Edinburgh and Strathclyde Universities, Scotland, UK. Start date: 1 September 2020 or soon after; End date: 2023 Postdoctoral Salary Scale: £31,866 to £40,322 per annum PhD funding: covering PhD fees and stipend for 3.5 years We encourage interested applicants to contact us informally ASAP. The project has sufficient flexibility to mitigate the effects of COVID-19, i.e. by accommodating later start date or remote working. The project aims to design novel methods and tools for verification of complex AI systems. It spans several subjects: type theory, automated and interactive theorem proving, security, AI and machine learning, autonomous systems, natural language processing and generation, legal aspects of AI. It will cover two main application areas: autonomous cars and chatbots, drawing from expertise and infrastructure provided by industrial partners working in these two areas. The project has a significant international span, with 12 partners from Academia and Industry in Europe (France, Germany, Israel, the Netherlands, Norway) and the US. Researchers joining this project will have excellent opportunities to travel to international conferences, organise scientific events, spend time with industrial partners, collaborate with academic leaders in the field, develop their own research profiles as well as gain experience in other AI and CS disciplines.
