Research jobs for MIT project on "Designing human-AI teams"

[Thomas W Malone]

MIT Center for Collective Intelligence (CCI)

Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART)

We’re hiring one or more researchers for an MIT project on designing human-AI teams. Successful applicants will have the opportunity to work on cutting-edge, interdisciplinary projects that aim to dramatically rethink how people and AI systems will work together in the future. To do this, the project seeks to build a strong scientific foundation for how AI can augment (as opposed to replace) humans. 

An important goal of the project is to develop knowledge graphs that represent many different activities humans and AI can do. These knowledge graphs can then help identify (a) possible uses for AI, (b) human-AI processes for these uses, and (c) innovative ways to combine people and AI to solve business and societal problems.

Positions are available for 

• research scientists (Ph.D. & 1 yr research experience required)
• postdoctoral associates (Ph.d required)
• research engineers (Bachelor’s or Master’s required)

with backgrounds in

• computer science, 
• social science, and/or 
• other approaches to organizing knowledge

Positions are based in Singapore.

About the MIT Center for Collective Intelligence (CCI)
The MIT Center for Collective Intelligence explores how people and computers can be connected so that—collectively—they act more intelligently than any person, group, or computer has ever done before. CCI’s mission is to both understand collective intelligence at a deep scientific level and to take advantage of the new technological and other possibilities it offers.  For example, CCI’s past research has included pioneering work on measuring collective intelligence, crowdsourcing solutions to climate change, and designing new kinds of organizations that combine people and computers.

About the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART)
The Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART) is a major research enterprise established by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in partnership with the National Research Foundation of Singapore (NRF) in 2007. SMART is the first entity in the Campus for Research Excellence and Technological Enterprise (CREATE) developed by NRF. SMART is MIT's first, and to-date only, research centre outside the United States. It is also MIT's largest international research programme. MIT faculty members have laboratories at SMART, mentor postdoctoral associates and graduate students, and collaborate with researchers from universities, research institutes and industries in Singapore and Asia.
