Örebro University and the School of Science and Technology are looking for a doctoral student for the doctoral programme in Computer Science, with specialization in Artificial Intelligence, concluding with a doctoral degree.
Expected start date: September 2023

Project description
The project, funded by Vetenskapsrådet, will investigate how to develop artificial systems that can communicate with human teammates, while taking into account the human's preferences and knowledge, as well as being able to adapt to different human users. Such capacity requires three key functionalities on the agent's side: (1) proactivity: the agent should be able to detect a need for communication and execute a communication action without being explicitly prompted to do so, (2) adaptability: the agent should be able to adapt its communication action to the user's evolving state of knowledge and skills, and (3) multi-user support: the agent should be able to consider several human users and adapt its communication strategy to each of them. This project is by nature multi-disciplinary and draws from the fields of planning, human-AI interaction, and cognitive sciences.

The successful candidate should show strong and independent problem solving and critical analytical abilities. Fluent spoken and written English is essential, while knowledge of Swedish is not necessary.

Demonstrated knowledge in Artificial Intelligence is a beneficial, specifically in any of the following fields: planning and decision-making, knowledge representation, multi-agent systems, robotics, machine learning, or natural language processing. Past experience with multi-disciplinary projects and user-studies is a merit.

The doctoral student will be supervised by Prof. Alessandro Saffiotti (principal supervisor) and Dr. Jennifer Renoux (assistant supervisor).
