Southampton, United Kingdom University of Southampton Full time

**2141123FP-R**

You will work on an exciting 5-year project on citizen-centric AI systems (CCAIS). This is funded via a £1.4M UKRI Turing AI Acceleration Fellowship to support world-leading AI research.

For this role, you will work on explainability in citizen-centric AI. Specifically, you will design new algorithms and interaction mechanisms that will allow non-expert citizen users to understand and engage with complex AI systems.

You will be part of a supportive and diverse research team. As an example of ongoing impactful work in the project, CCAIS postdoc Dr Elnaz Shafipour has recently been featured in a BCS video series on Net Zero.

The project has the strong support of a consortium of industrial stakeholders, including IBM Research, Jaguar Land Rover and Yunex Traffic. These will interact with you regularly to ensure your work addresses real societal challenges.

To be successful you will have (or are within 6 months of completing) a PhD (or professional qualifications and experience) in computer science, AI or a related topic. You have the ability to publish and present your work at top international venues, and you are passionate about working with stakeholders and users to generate real impact from your research.

This role will be offered on a full time, fixed term basis for 24 months.

**About Us**

You will join the Agents, Interaction and Complexity group within the School of Electronics and Computer Science (ECS). We are one of the world's leading groups in multi-agent systems, and you will benefit from our significant networks. For example, we lead the UKRI TAS Hub, we are part of the Alan Turing Institute, and we run the MINDS CDT. These centres and networks will provide you with a valuable opportunity to work with researchers and other stakeholders from a wide range of backgrounds.**Further details**:
