Two two-year postdoctoral positions in project on advanced AI tools to support algorithmic fairness (University of Edinburgh, deadline 3rd January)

If you are interested in working on technologies that support algorithmic fairness and ethical AI, the project offers a great opportunity to develop AI mediation tools that help the users of online algorithmic platforms negotiate fairer algorithms with these platforms. We're generally looking for people with an ML, recommender systems, game theory, or multiagent systems background, and talented HCI/usability researchers with an interest in designing web-based engagement tools that enable users to experiment with and better understand data-driven algorithms. (That said, the project is very broad in scope and we can accommodate people with different technical backgrounds.) The job adverts are at https://www.vacancies.ed.ac.uk/pls/corehrrecruit/erq_jobspec_version_4.jobsp... ?p_id=046205 please don't hesitate to get in touch with Michael Rovatsos (Michael.Rovatsos@ed.ac.uk) directly if you're interested. <<< ... .. . .. ....... ..... .... ... .. . .. ... .. . .. ... .. dr michael rovatsos bayes centre & school of informatics university of edinburgh homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/mrovatso +44 131 6513263/6513102 ... ... .... ..... .... ... .. . .. ... .... ..... .... ... . -- The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336.
