The position holder will be a member of the Hessian Center for Artificial Intelligence - hessian.AI and provides research at the Center and will also be a member of the Centre for Cognitive Science. The scientific focus of the position is on the computational and algorithmic modeling of behavioral data to understand the human mind. Exemplary research topics include computational level models of perception, cognition, decision making, action, and learning as well as extended behavior and social interactions in humans, algorithmic models that are able to simulate, predict, and explain human behavior, model-driven behavioral research on human cognition. The professorship is expected to strengthen the Hessian Center for Artificial Intelligence and TU Darmstadt’s Human Science department’s research focus on Cognitive Science. Depending on the candidate’s profile there is the opportunity to participate in joint research projects currently running at TU Darmstadt. This in particular includes the state funded cluster projects “The Adaptive Mind (TAM)” and “The Third Wave of Artificial Intelligence (3AI)”. In addition to excellent scientific credentials, we seek a strong commitment to teaching in the department’s Bachelor and Masters programs in Cognitive Science. Experience in attracting third-party funding as well as participation in academic governance is expected.
