Lab Manager, support for synthetic research, salary grade E13 TV-L
The Technische Universität Berlin invites applications for 2 lab manager positions for the Cluster of Excellence Science of Intelligence.
What are the principles of intelligence, shared by all forms of intelligence, whether artificial or biological, whether robot, computer program, human, or animal? And how can we apply these principles to create intelligent technology?
Answering these questions in an ethically responsible way is the principal scientific objective of the Cluster of Excellence Science of Intelligence. The cluster brings together researchers from a variety of analytical and synthetic disciplines – artificial intelligence, machine learning, control, robotics, computer vision, behavioural biology, psychology, educational science, neuroscience, and philosophy – who join forces to create a multi-disciplinary research program across universities and research institutes in Berlin. The interdisciplinary research projects combine analytic and synthetic research and which address key aspects of individual, social, and collective intelligence.
