PhD and PostDoc positions
Universidad Complutense de Madrid
New HFSP-funded project, "The Emergence of Collective Intelligence: Understanding Human Behavior through AI Agents" seeks candidates for PhD and postdoc positions. The project aims to combine machine learning, neuroscience, physics and complex systems to explore how collective intelligence emerges in human groups and AI agents.
The interdisciplinary team includes:
- M. Ruiz-Garcia (Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain)
- A. Saxe (University College London, UK)
- M. Spitzer (Martin-Luther Universität Halle, Germany)
- E. Teich (Wellesley College, USA)
The project seeks PhD students and Postdocs passionate about pushing the boundaries of understanding in AI and neuroscience. You'll be part of an international effort with significant implications across various fields. Prospective candidates can contribute to the project in a variety of ways. Efforts might involve implementing interacting reinforcement learning agents, collecting and analyzing human subject data related to cooperative gameplay, or analyzing patterns of interaction among cooperating agents as complex networks.
Postdocs will join the team this fall for up to three years, and PhD students will stay for four years.
