CWI is now hiring for a Tenure-track or tenured position (m/f/x) in the area of Responsible AI.
We are seeking applications from early career researchers (as of last year PhD) through highly experienced researchers (comparable to associate or full professor level). Depending on the level of seniority, a tenure track or a tenured position will be offered to you.
CWI strives to be a diverse and inclusive research institute. To achieve balanced representation in positions, we will, among qualified excellent candidates, prioritize applications from women researchers (including identifying as). Additionally, CWI actively supports the LGBTIQA+ community, is working to increase the number of employees from non-Western backgrounds, and is attentive to neurodiversity.

JOB DESCRIPTION

The Human-Centered Data Analytics (HCDA) group of CWI aims to strengthen its research activities in the field of responsible AI. We are looking for talented scientists who are keen to develop their own innovative line of fundamental research related to, for example, bias, fairness, human oversight, or ethics in cutting-edge AI technology.
The HCDA group investigates human-centered, responsible AI in the culture and media sectors. Current research topics in the group include: measuring bias and diversity in recommender systems; detecting offensive colonial terminology in knowledge graphs; developing transparent techniques for misinformation detection; predicting political bias of crowd workers; and studying bias against the LGBTIQA+ community in large language models.
We maintain close collaborations with professionals from the culture and media sectors, as well as social scientists and humanities scholars, through the Cultural AI Lab and the AI, Media and Democracy Lab. These interdisciplinary labs provide us with opportunities to work with real data and real-world use cases.
Next to developing an innovative research line, you will explore collaboration opportunities within the research group and/or within the two interdisciplinary labs, acquire funds to grow our research capacity for responsible AI, and help strengthen the role of CWI as the national institute for computer science and mathematics. For tenure track or tenured positions at CWI there is only a 10% teaching requirement. You are expected in due time to make connections to one of the Dutch universities to contribute to their curriculum.

REQUIREMENTS

We are looking for an excellent scientist with recognized expertise in artificial intelligence, computer science, data science, computational linguistics, information science, or comparable, with a successful scientific track record in Responsible AI. You are highly motivated to work in interdisciplinary teams on societally relevant problems. Most importantly, you have a clear research vision and the capacity to develop an independent research program of funded research.
