This position is no longer available. University: National University of SingaporeCountry: SingaporeDeadline: 2025-06-15Fields: Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Cognitive Science, Computational LinguisticsThe Department of Computer Science at the National University of Singapore (NUS) is pleased to announce multiple openings in the new research lab led by Dr. Tan Xuan, commencing August 2025. The lab will focus on advancing cooperative intelligence through rational, model-based artificial intelligence engineering. Applications are invited for PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, research assistants, and visiting students interested in contributing to this dynamic and interdisciplinary research environment.

Eligible candidates may have backgrounds in, but are not limited to, the following academic fields: Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Cognitive Science, and Computational Linguistics. Research Topics Of Interest Include– Modeling and engineering human-like cooperative agents (e. g. , Bayesian theory of mind, inverse planning, cooperative communication, uncertainty-aware planning)– Cooperative infrastructure for human-human and human-machine interactions (e. g. , norm learning, normative reasoning, contractualist AI alignment, rational deliberation, negotiation)– Applications of rational cooperative AI (e. g. , safe web-browsing agents, language-instructable AI in video games, assistive robotics)– Probabilistic programming and model-based planning for safe AI (e. g.

, planning languages, multi-resolution modeling, belief-space planning)Requirements– Demonstrated interest or experience in one or more of the research topics listed above– Strong academic record in a relevant field– For PhD applicants: eligibility for the NUS Computer Science PhD program (see departmental requirements)– For postdoctoral and research assistant applicants:
