Overview
The Faculty of Science and the Leiden Institute of Advanced Computer Science (LIACS) are looking for:
2 Assistant Professors in Generative AI and Human-centered AI
The Faculty of Science, Leiden Institute of Advanced Computer Science (LIACS), is seeking candidates for two Assistant Professors (0.8-1.0 FTE), one in generative AI and another in Human-centered AI. We seek to appoint an expert in the research area of Generative AI with focus on software systems and engineering (code generation, bug detection and repair, refactoring, and optimization but also at a larger scale such as architecture reconstruction and impact analysis for changes), prompt engineering (for content creation and data analysis), or diffusion models (for transforming the creation of high-fidelity data, such as images and simulations). Additionally, we seek to appoint an expert in Human-centered AI with focus on the designing of AI systems that prioritize human needs, usability, and collaboration, and/or on the involvement of humans in the training and refining processes (interactive machine learning).
