Berlin, Berlin, Deutschland Max-Planck-Institut für Bildungsforschung Vollzeit

The
Center for Humans and Machines (CHM) at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin conducts interdisciplinary science to understand, anticipate, and shape major disruptions from digital media and Artificial Intelligence to the way we think, learn, work, play, cooperate, and govern.

Our goal is to understand how machines are shaping human society today and how they may continue to shape it in the future.

The Center is comprised of an interdisciplinary, international, and diverse group of scholars and a science support team.

To complement this team, we are looking to fill up to two (2) positions as

Postdoctoral Researcher in Generative AI and Cultural Evolution

(E 13 TVöD; 39 hours/week)

The Position

  • We seek to hire postdoctoral researchers to work on ambitious, highimpact research that anticipates the influence of generative AI on human culture and its evolution.
  • The research will involve designing and implementing generative AI models and humanAI systems to study coevolution in creative domains (e.g., language, visual art, etc.).
  • Projects will be conducted under the supervision of Prof. Iyad Rahwan and may involve collaboration with other colleagues at the Center.
  • The position is limited to two years, with the possibility of an extension for a third year.
  • Starting date is October 1, 2023, or later.

Your Profile

The successful applicant must have the following:

  • A Ph.
D. in a computational science field (e.g., Computer Science, Computational Cognitive Science, Computational Social Science, Physics, Applied Mathematics, or related).

  • Demonstrated ability to produce highimpact research, as evidenced by a strong publication record in top computer science, cognitive science, or multidisciplinary venues.
  • Demonstrated ability to design and implement deep learning algorithms in at least one area of Artificial Intelligence, i.e., Natural Language Processing, Reinforcement Learning, or Computer Vision.
  • Advanced programming skills and proficiency with deep learning libraries (i.e., tensorflow or pytorch).
  • A commitment to following the best methodological practices in computer and behavioral sciences, such as preregistration of studies, sharing of welldocumented computer code, version control such as Git, writing reproducible research reports, open sharing of data whenever feasible, etc.
  • High proficiency in English.
  • High motivation and ability to work independently and as part of an (interdisciplinary) team alongside other computational scientists and behavioral scientists. Ability to coordinate feedback from teams of senior collaborators.
  • Willingness to present and communicate research in internal and external seminars and conferences.

Desirable skills include:

  • Demonstrated experience with machine learning in creative domains, such as using Large Language Models in creative writing, or using diffusion models in visual art.
  • Demonstrated experience with reinforcement learning and Markov decision processes.
  • Experience designing and conducting behavioral or economic experiments in the lab or online via platforms such as Prolific or Amazon Mechanical Turk and/or recruitment of panels.

Our Offer

  • An interesting position at the internationally renowned Center for Humans and Machines.
  • Working in a young multidisciplinary team with colleagues from experimental psychology, evolutionary anthropology, art, economics, computer science, and physics.
  • Contribution to the multifaceted and impactful research and the opportunity to conduct scientific work related to artificial intelligence and ethics, and humanmachine interaction.
  • Strong support from our science support team and the opportunity to guide and work with research assistants.
  • Support with public outreach (e.g., social media, print media, or exhibitions).
  • Room to develop and realize your ideas.
  • Possibility to work partly from home office.
