Postdoc in Computational Social Choice
Deadline: Wednesday 25 May 2022Have you recently completed (or are you about to complete) your PhD and are you excited about current developments at the interface of AI with Economics taking place in the Computational Social Choice and Algorithmic Game Theory research communities? Can you see yourself working in an interdisciplinary environment, in a team with smart and friendly colleagues?
For more information, see here or at https://vacatures.uva.nl/UvA/job/Postdoc-in-Computational-Social-Choice/745372502/ or contact Prof. dr. Ulle Endriss at u.endriss at uva.nl. -
(Updated) Postdoctoral Researcher in Cognitive Computational Modeling
Deadline: Sunday 22 May 2022Are you interested in how people represent the word meaning? Are you curious how individual differences affect linguistic communication? Do you have experience in combining computational cognitive modeling and psycholinguistic research? If you are excited about doing this kind of research in an interdisciplinary environment with a team of friendly and enthusiastic colleagues, then you may want to join us as Postdoctoral researcher in cognitive computational modeling of individual differences in semantic representations.

17 - 18 May 2022, Cognitive Semantics and Quantities Final Workshop
Location: Doelenzaal (room C0.07), University Library building, Singel 425, AmsterdamOn May 17th and 18th, we will have the pleasure of hosting the final workshop of the ERC Cognitive Semantics project. We will have a great lineup of speakers presenting recent advances in semantics and cognition. The day before the workshop, on May 16th, Sonia Ramotowska will defend her thesis "Quantifying quantifier representations: Experimental studies, computational modeling, and individual differences". And the day after the workshop, on May 19th, we will host a half-day satellite meeting on Reasoning & Neural Networks.
