Tech­ni­sche Uni­ver­si­tät Dres­den - Cen­ter for Inter­di­sci­pli­nary Digi­tal Sci­en­ces, Cen­ter for Scala­ble Data Ana­ly­tics and Arti­fi­cial Intel­li­gence (ScaDS.AI)

The TU Dres­den is one of ele­ven Ger­man uni­ver­si­ties that were iden­ti­fied as an “excel­lence uni­ver­sity”. TUD has about 36.500 stu­dents and almost 5319 employees, 507 pro­fes­sors among them, and, thus, is the lar­gest uni­ver­sity in Sax­ony, today.

Having been com­mit­ted to sci­en­ces and the engi­nee­ring before the reuni­fi­ca­tion of Ger­many, TU Dres­den now is a multi-disci­pline uni­ver­sity, also offe­ring huma­nities and social sci­en­ces as well as medi­cine.

Junior Rese­arch Group "AI-based Coa­ching of Stu­dents" (m/f/x)

ScaDS.AI (Cen­ter for Scala­ble Data Ana­ly­tics and Arti­fi­cial Intel­li­gence) Dres­den/Leip­zig is a cen­ter for Data Sci­ence, Arti­fi­cial Intel­li­gence and Big Data with loca­ti­ons in Dres­den and Leip­zig. It is one of five new AI cen­ters in Ger­many fun­ded under the federal government’s AI stra­tegy and is estab­lished as a per­ma­nent rese­arch faci­lity with cur­r­ently more than 60 PIs. To pro­mote rese­arch excel­lence in the field of AI and data sci­ence, ScaDS.AI sup­ports early career rese­arch group lea­ders in this field that com­ple­ment and extend our cur­rent rese­arch areas.

At the Cen­ter for Inter­di­sci­pli­nary Digi­tal Sci­en­ces, the Depart­ment ScaDS.AI is offe­ring a the­ma­tic call to explore AI-based lear­ning:

Junior Rese­arch Group "AI-based Coa­ching of Stu­dents" (m/f/x)
(sub­ject to per­so­nal qua­li­fi­ca­tion PIs are remu­ne­ra­ted (1) accord­ing up to salary group E 15 TV-L,
sub­ject to per­so­nal qua­li­fi­ca­tion Rese­arch Asso­cia­tes are remu­ne­ra­ted (1) accord­ing to salary group E 13 TV-L).

(1) The renu­me­ra­tion can be taken from the cur­rent remu­ne­ra­tion table: https://www.lsf.sachsen.de/download/Tarif/Entgelttabelle_TV-L_ab_01.01.2021.pdf

Working field:

The app­li­cants should demons­trate rese­arch in intel­li­gent inter­ac­tive sys­tems or adap­tive user inter­faces for coa­ching lear­ners using machine lear­ning. Through coa­ching self-direc­ted lear­ning with AI sup­port can improve lear­ning beha­vior and lear­ning out­co­mes. Focus is on deve­lo­ping ambi­ent intel­li­gent user inter­faces to include a con­ver­sa­tio­nal para­digm based on mul­ti­modal lan­guage models for lear­ners atten­ding a degree pro­gram in hig­her edu­ca­tion. Expe­ri­ence with diver­sity of lear­ners having sen­sory or cogni­tive needs and AI-based model­ling of such user needs for mul­ti­modal inter­ac­tion should be demons­tra­ted as well as demons­tra­ble abi­lity to plan and manage inde­pen­dent rese­arch.

Requirements:

ELI­GI­BI­LITY
Out­stan­ding rese­ar­chers (uni­ver­sity degree and for the PI an addi­tio­nal PhD degree (or equi­va­lent) in Human-Com­pu­ter-Inter­ac­tion) with a pro­ven rese­arch track record in data sci­ence and AI inclu­ding cur­rent junior pro­fes­sors or group lea­ders. We are pri­ma­rily loo­king for inter­na­tio­nal app­li­cants.

What we offer:

Fur­ther inform­a­tion on the focal points in the com­pet­ence cen­ter can be found at https://scads.ai/research/.

DURATION AND SCOPE
Applic­a­tions are invited for this junior research group that shall start in 2022 or early 2023 with a dur­a­tion of 24 to 36 months. An exten­sion after a pos­it­ive eval­u­ation for up to 36 months is pos­sible. The period of employ­ment is gov­erned by the Fixed Term Research Con­tracts Act (Wis­senschaft­szeitver­trags­ge­setz - Wis­sZeitVG). A junior research group must con­sist of a junior research group leader and research assist­ants – depend­ing on the dur­a­tion of the group and the qual­ity of the research pro­posal, up to two addi­tional pos­i­tions for research assist­ants will be fun­ded by ScaDS.AI. The fund­ing will include trav­el­ing expenses as well as con­sum­ables. Earli­est start of the fund­ing: Septem­ber 1, 2022.

How to apply:

APP­LI­CA­TION DOCU­MENTS
