[agents] Postdoc positions available at King's College London in AI-Planning, Argumentation and Human-Agent Interaction

[Sklar, Elizabeth]

THuMP: Trust in Human-Machine Partnership is a multi-disciplinary project based at King's College London, UK. THuMP has the ambitious goal of advancing the state-of-the-art in trustworthy human-AI decision-support systems. ThUMP will address the technical challenges involved in creating explainable AI (XAI) systems, with a focus on Explainable Planning and Computational Argumentation, so that people using the system can better understand the rationale behind and trust suggestions made by an AI system. This project is conducted in collaboration with three project partners: the charity Save the Children and the oil and gas company Schlumberger, which provide use cases for the project, and the law firm Hogan Lovells, which will cooperate in considering legal implications of enhancing machines with transparency and the ability to explain.


There are three PostDoc positions available (deadline for applications: 11 February 2019)


* AI-Planning PostDoc who will be responsible for leading the design of new techniques for explainable planning, based on the use of planning and/or constraint programming and/or temporal logic and/or formal methods, and their applications to the use cases that will be  co-created with the project partners.

* Argumentation PostDoc who will be responsible for conducting research into models of computational argumentation that take into account trust and provenance. Tasks will involve developing and implementing formal models of argumentation and dialogue, in particular models that are grounded in data, and evaluating these models.

* Human-Agent Interaction PostDoc who will be responsible for conducting research around   decision support in human-machine teams, particularly for resource allocation. Tasks will involve building software infrastructure for the project, developing a prototype interface for communicating with users, designing and conducting experiments with human subjects   based on the use cases that will be co-created with the project partners, with an emphasis on resource allocation in critical domains.
