[ETH Diversity] Assistant Professor (Tenure Track) of Computer Science – Responsible Artificial Intelligence at ETH Zurich

[Holzach Alexander (PRS)]

Assistant Professor (Tenure Track) of Computer Science – Responsible
Artificial Intelligence

 

The Department of Computer Science (www.inf.ethz.ch) at ETH Zurich invites
applications for an assistant professorship (tenure track) in computer
science with focus on Responsible AI. The professorship will address
pressing technical challenges posed by the widespread integration of machine
learning and AI systems into society, and have a bridging role between
technical AI research and the social sciences or humanities. It will delve
into the intended and unintended societal consequences of AI systems and
shape their development to align with ethical and legal standards and
enhance human welfare.

 

Applicants should be strongly rooted in computer science, have
internationally recognized expertise in their field, and pursue research at
the forefront of computer science. Successful candidates should establish
and lead a strong research program. Research areas of interest include, but
are not limited to, theoretical and practical aspects of reliable and
trustworthy AI systems; principles of human-AI and multi-agent interaction;
steerability, alignment and safety of AI systems; interpretability of neural
networks and other machine learning models; plausibility, verification, and
accountability of generative AI; assessing and ensuring compliance of AI
with policy and law; bias, fairness and privacy in machine learning;
next-generation responsible AI systems, e.g., through enhanced reasoning
capabilities. The new professor will be expected to supervise doctoral
students and teach both undergraduate and graduate level courses (in German
or in English). Collaboration in research and teaching is expected both
within the department and with other groups of ETH Zurich and related
institutions. 

 

Assistant professorships have been established to promote the careers of
younger scientists. ETH Zurich implements a tenure track system equivalent
to that of other top international universities.

 

ETH Zurich is an equal opportunity and family-friendly employer, values
diversity, and is responsive to the needs of dual-career couples.
