Are you looking for a challenging position in a dynamic setting? The Institute for Logic, Language and Computation (ILLC) (https://www.illc.uva.nl/) currently has a vacant PhD position as part of the the UvA starter grant Making (none)sense with AI, led by principal investigator Dr. Davide Beraldo.

The Emmy Noether research group "From Bias to Knowledge: The Epistemology of Machine Learning," led by Dr. Tom Sterkenburg, works on the philosophical foundations of machine learning. The group aims to improve our understanding of inductive bias in machine learning algorithms, by building bridges between the philosophy of science and the mathematical theory of machine learning. The group is embedded within the Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy (MCMP) at the LMU Munich.

We are looking for a postdoctoral fellow with a background and strong interest in the philosophy of artificial intelligence and/or philosophy of science, and ideally affinity with the mathematics and epistemology of machine learning. The deadline for applications is 1 December 2024, the intended starting date is 1 April 2025.

The Department of Philosophy at the University of Washington, Seattle invites applications for an Assistant Professor of Philosophy with Area of Specialization (AOS): Philosophy of Science, and Area of Concentration (AOC): Open. This is a full-time, tenure eligible position with an anticipated start date of September 2025. Tenure track faculty have an annual service period of nine months (Sept 16-June 15). All University of Washington faculty engage in research, teaching, and service.

The successful candidate will be expected to develop a robust research program that complements existing scholarship in the department; teach at the undergraduate and graduate levels; serve on dissertation committees and mentor graduate and  undergraduate students; actively participate in service to the university, profession, and broader communities; and promote a diverse and inclusive community of faculty, staff, and students.

We are seeking PhD candidates in the topic of Multiagent Systems and related areas, with particular emphasis on one or more of: computational social choice, algorithmic game theory, multiagent learning, and social and economic networks. The multiagent systems researchers at University of Warwick include Markus Brill, Debmalya Mandal, Ramanujan Sridharan, Long Tran-Thanh, and Paolo Turrini. The successful applicant(s ) will have the opportunity to work in a vibrant multiagent systems group with a strong record of publications at top-tier venues.

The expected starting date is October 2025 or as soon as possible thereafter. Informal enquiries to any of the involved researchers are strongly encouraged.

Applications are invited for the position of a lecturer (charge de cours) in logic (2 hours per week each semester) at the Université de Fribourg, Switzerland, starting 1st September 2025.

A PhD position on “reasoning in game-playing” is open at IRIT, the computer science department in Toulouse, France, in collaboration with Telecom Paris. Starting date from January 2025. The PhD will be part of the project “NOGGINS”, which aims at building intelligent players that can play according to different objectives, from "winning the game" to "being ethical", by learning and representing in a symbolic way the strategies for playing games. The key impact of the project is to build trustworthy interpretable AI players which consider strategies as plain meaningful objects.

In that context the research of the PhD candidate will focus on generating strategies from a game description, represent them in a symbolic way, and assess them with respect to standard game-playing algorithms. The applicants should have a master in Computer Science, and background on artificial intelligence, in particular knowledge representation and planning.

In the following months, there should be an opening for up to 2 postdoctoral positions at the Institute of Fundamental Technological Research, Polish Academy of Sciences, based in Warsaw, Poland. The position(s) would be part of a new team focused on theoretical problems in machine learning and artificial intelligence. The initial contract would be for 1 year with possible extension for the next 2 years. There is also a possibility of employing a predoctoral candidate, who would then be expected to join the Institute's doctoral program next year.

Hopefully, the official call will be released towards the end of the year, but we would like to ask interested candidates to get in touch, ideally before the end of October

The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science of the University of Cagliari just opened a one-year Research Fellowship within a project at the intersection between Probability Theory and Logic. Expected starting date: January 2025.

The ideal candidate has a background in Probability theory (specifically in the "momentum problem") and possess also a knowledge of MV-algebras. In this one-year fellowship the candidate is expected to investigate solvability criteria for moment problems on unital algebras in collaboration with the MAPS' team. The final aim is to apply these results to the existence problem of an integral representation for faithful states of a MV algebra.

For the recently established Cluster of Excellence CoE Bilateral Artificial Intelligence (BILAI), funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF), we are looking for more than 50 PhD students and 10 Post-Doc researchers (m/f/d) to join our team at one of the six leading research institutions across Austria.

Two PhD-student positions are open in the project "Epistemic Group Attitudes" in the Logic and Theory Group of the Institute of Computer Science at the University of Bern. In this SNSF-funded project, we plan to develop and investigate new notions of group knowledge in multi-agent systems. The two classic forms of group knowledge are common knowledge and distributed knowledge. We will devise novel variants of these notions, which are important for distributed computing, and study their logical and mathematical properties.

The positions are available from February 2025 (negotiable) for up to 4 years. Candidates should have a strong background in logic (computer science, mathematics). University regulations require doctoral students to hold a Master's or equivalent degree.
