We are pleased to announce that Martha Lewis has been awarded a a NIAS Lorentz Theme Group - Fellowship, to work on what representations AI models need in order to reason analogically.
The SSH-XS grants are available for projects with a maximum budget of 50,000 euro to enable proposals for curiosity-driven, innovative research in the research fields covered by the NWO Domain SSH. Researchers with a promising idea who obtained their PhD at least 5 years ago can apply. Other conditions apply, see the website for more information.
Applicants for the ERC Advanced Grants (Principal Investigators or PI) are expected to be active researchers who have a track-record of significant research achievements. The PI should be exceptional leaders in terms of originality and significance of their research contributions. No specific eligibility criteria with respect to the academic requirements are foreseen.
The new funding scheme, ERC Plus Grants, is planned to support outstanding researchers from Europe and anywhere in the world with bold ideas and a vision for transformative research that goes beyond the scope of existing ERC programmes. Applicants should explain how the proposed project goes beyond the scope of a regular ERC project.
The fellowships enhance the creative and innovative potential of researchers holding a PhD and who wish to acquire new skills through advanced training, international, interdisciplinary and inter-sectoral mobility. MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships will be open to excellent researchers of any nationality.
AI4KIDS addresses the critical need for child-centric safe AI by developing a norm-first Belief–Desire–Intention (BDI) architecture where generative models (LLMs) are constrained by machine-readable child-protection policies to ensure purposeful, legally compliant, explainable and auditable AI behaviour.
The role focuses on designing safe, norm-constrained AI architectures for child-centric applications, combining multi-agent systems, LLMs, and social robotics within an international team. The project also includes industrial validation with social robotics platforms (e.g., QTrobot) for deployment in educational and special-needs contexts, marrying computational law, symbolic AI, and large-scale evaluation into a blueprint for safe child-facing AI.
The position is funded under the project “Centre for Credible AI at the Warsaw University of Technology”. Research topics include: counterfactual explanations, mechanistic interpretability, expressivity, biomedical applications, computational social choice, multi-agent systems.
This position is intended for researchers who obtained their PhD degree no longer than five years ago.
These positions offer a place for reflecting on all aspects of mathematical knowledge from the point of view of the humanities. The team studies various historical and contemporary mathematical cultures from a multitude of methodological approaches.

Arie Soeteman investigates how artificial intelligence can reason in a way that resembles how humans think, according to the laws of logic. Using mathematical proofs and by having AI systems solve puzzles, he demonstrates how self-learning computer systems arrive at conclusions. The goal is to develop AI models that we can understand and trust.
