Are you a scientist with an interest in education, research and intelligent technologies and do you want to work for an organization that is of social significance? At the National Education Lab for Artificial Intelligence (NOLAI in Dutch), we develop intelligent technologies aimed at improving the quality of primary and secondary education. Over the next ten years, NOLAI teams up with schools, universities and companies to create new innovations with AI for education. As a postdoctoral researcher on technical aspects of AI in education, you will contribute to NOLAI's goals in our scientific programme.
The new National Education Lab AI (NOLAI), located at Radboud University in the Netherlands, is looking for a postdoctoral researcher to study the technical aspects of AI in education. You will be part of the technical aspects of AI team in the lab's scientific programme.
The scientific programme supports the co-creation programme and creates the preconditions necessary for a successful dialogue with schools discussing the innovative use of AI in education and developing new innovations with AI in co-creation between schools, scientists and researchers.
The aim of the scientific programme is to gain insight into the pedagogical, social, technical, and ethical consequences of innovations with intelligent technologies in education. It examines the opportunities and risks of intelligent technologies from the augmentation perspective that views AI as a potential tool for teachers and students.
The scientific programme consists of four focus areas:
Fixed-term contract: It concerns a temporary employment for 3 years.
The Dutch Education Lab for Artificial Intelligence (NOLAI) is a consortium including schools, universities and companies, which aims to develop innovative intelligent technologies that will help improve the quality of primary and secondary education over the next ten years. With the help of these innovations, the increasing demand for responsible innovation with intelligent technologies in the public sector education will be met. NOLAI is organisationally embedded in the Faculty of Social Sciences of Radboud University and consists, on the one hand, of a scientific programme (where researchers and data-scientists work), and on the other, of a co-creation programme (in which education, science and business work collaboratively on projects). In total, about 30 to 40 people will be working at NOLAI and many more people will be involved in carrying out the co-creation projects.
Your position will be embedded in the Donders Centre for Cognition, part of The Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour. This is a world-class interfaculty research centre that houses more than 700 researchers devoted to understanding the mechanistic underpinnings of the human mind. Research at the Donders Institute is focused around four themes: 1. Language and communication, 2. Perception, action and decision-making, 3. Development and lifelong plasticity and 4. Natural computing and neurotechnology. Excellent, state-of-the-art research facilities are available for the broad range of neuroscience research that is being conducted at the Donders Institute. The Donders Institute has been assessed by an international evaluation committee as 'excellent' and recognised as a 'very stimulating environment for top researchers, as well as for young talent'. The Donders Institute fosters a collaborative, multidisciplinary, supportive research environment with a diverse international staff. English is the lingua franca at the Institute.
At the Faculty of Social Sciences we immerse ourselves in the behaviour, feeling and thinking of people. People and society are the focus of our work. Within that context, we look at themes such as human behaviour and psyche, education and upbringing, communication, society and culture. The faculty offers education to 6,000 students and employs 700 staff.
