Job Description

The Data Science and AI laboratory in the Science Division, New York University Abu Dhabi, seeks to recruit a research associate to work on human-bot cooperation.

The successful applicant will work with the lab director, Prof. Talal Rahwan, on projects that examine human-bot interactions. In this context, some of the research questions that excite us as a group include topics in: (i) ethics of AI and automation; (ii) social media analysis (iii) collaboration and team work, (iv) online controlled experiments. The candidate would focus on the area of AI ethics, using behavioral experiments, typically conducted online, and game theoretical models of such interactions. The candidate will work in a multidisciplinary environment consisting of PhD-level scientists, graduate students and undergraduate students.

Applicants must have a PhD in Sociology, Economics, Physics, Psychology, or Computer Science. The position requires experience with at least one of the following: running behavioral experiments in the lab or online, developing the interface for such experiments or the mastery of currently existing experimental tools, as well as game-theoretic modeling on decision making. Relevant skills include statistical analysis, data management and collection, causal inference, visualizations, game theory, and online tool development. Excellent communication skills in English, ability to work in multidisciplinary teams, and scientific creativity are essential, as the research projects conducted by Professor Rahwan are inherently collaborative and involve scientists with diverse backgrounds.

The terms of employment are very competitive and include housing and educational subsidies for children. Applications will be accepted immediately and candidates will be considered until the position is filled. To be considered, all applicants must submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, transcript of degree, a one-page summary of research accomplishments and interests, and at least 2 letters of recommendation, all in PDF format.
