Assistant Professor (doctor, senior researcher) in eXplainableAI

Join the Centre for Credible AI at Warsaw University of Technology to conduct research on new techniques for explaining AI models, including solutions for non-differentiable models and alternatives to backpropagation algorithms.

The person employed in this position will be responsible for conducting research in the area of new techniques for explaining AI models, in particular solutions for non-differentiable models, alternatives to the backpropagation algorithm, work on network models with high-level operations, and analysis of simulations in virtual environments with respect to the behavior of agents controlled by LLM-type models.

Responsibilities

Proposing, designing, and implementing new methods for analyzing AI models
Designing simulation environments for evaluating the behavior of agent-based systems – analyzing agent-based systems in terms of individual agent characteristics as well as stability and bias
Documenting research results in the form of scientific publications and internal reports
Collaborating with interdisciplinary teams (e.g., in the areas of systemic risk modeling, social processes, infrastructure networks)
Participating in the preparation and implementation of research projects funded from national and international sources (e.g., NCN, Horizon Europe, ESA PECS)
Serving as a scientific mentor for a small team of junior researchers (1–2 people), supporting them in simulation planning, literature review, and results analysis

Requirements

PhD in Math, Computer Science, Physics, Artificial Intelligence or similar field
Proven experience in research work on AI models
Ability to conduct independent research and work in a team, including a willingness to collaborate across disciplines and mentor junior researchers
Very good command of English (and another foreign language)
4–10 years of research experience

Benefits

Comprehensive support system fostering professional development
Opportunity to work at a leading technical university
Collaboration with interdisciplinary teams
Access to national and international research projects
Mentoring opportunities with junior researchers
