<p>Dear all,</p>
<p>The Department of Computing science at Umeå University is
offering a postdoctoral scholarship within the project “<b><i>Understanding
and designing Block Copolymers using AI</i>”</b>. The
scholarship is full-time for two years with access 1 September,
2024 or by agreement. <br>
</p>
<p>This project aims to use Artificial intelligence for
understanding, designing, and optimizing Block Copolymers (BCPs)
and their self-assembly. A hybrid intelligence system will be
designed and developed during a multi-disciplinary collaboration.
This system will combine two parts. First, a knowledge-based
inference system that encodes existing knowledge using a
domain-specific ontology and fuzzy logic-based rules. In short,
this fuzzy knowledge-based system will express the known
relationships between the chemical structure of polymers and their
corresponding properties. Second, we will combine this
knowledge-based system with a data-driven model. This model will
be extracted from experimental data using state-of-the art machine
learning techniques.<br>
</p>
<p>Documented knowledge and proven research experiences in at least
one of the following areas:</p>
<ul>
<li>approximate reasoning, </li>
<li>logic-based methods, </li>
<li>knowledge modeling, </li>
<li>fuzzy sets and systems, </li>
<li>probabilistic answer set programming, or </li>
<li>uncertain ontologies, is required.</li>
</ul>
<p><br>
The scholarship project are financed by the Kempe foundation. The
scholarship is for two years with a starting date as agreed. The
scholarship amounts to 350.000 SEK per year. The scholarship is
not subject to tax.</p>
<p>Are you the person for this project? <b>We welcome applications
until May 31, 2024.</b> </p>
