Job Description
The Cooperative Graduate School Accessibility through AI-based Assistive
Technology (KATE - www.kate.kit.edu ) is a
new cooperative and interdisciplinary graduate school between the
Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and the Hochschule Karlsruhe (HKA).
Are you interested in improving the quality of life of persons with
special needs by using state-of-the-art artificial intelligence methods
to develop assistive technology for these user groups?
In this unique doctoral program, you will be able to conduct an
interdisciplinary research project that revolves around investigating
state-of-the-art artificial intelligence methods in order to improve the
autonomy and participation of persons with special needs. In the
graduate school, different dissertation topics ranging from AI-based
methods for text, audio, and multimedia document processing, AI methods
for interactive training and assistance systems, to investigating the
consequences and ethical, legal, social, and societal implications of AI
systems for people with disabilities will be offered. Within the
framework of the doctoral college, 12 students with a doctoral
scholarship, as well as approx. 10 additional doctoral students, will be
supervised by more than 12 professors from the two universities. The
sponsored persons will work on a selected topic scientifically in depth
within the framework of their doctorate and will receive an overall view
of all relevant topics - including medical causes as well as their
effects, the needs of the target groups, AI-based approaches, ethics,
technology assessment, and societal aspects - through the exchange
within the doctoral college for this purpose.
Your Profile
You hold a master's or equivalent degree, received by December 2022 at
the latest, in computer science, mathematics, engineering, physics or
related quantitative sciences, or in the social sciences. As an
international research school, we require our doctoral researchers to be
fluent in English (German is optional).
We Offer
- Cutting-edge research and working with top experts in AI, computer
science, robotics, human-computer interaction, and social sciences
- An inspiring work environment in an interdisciplinary setting
- Integrated structural training curriculum of scientific and
professional skills taught in English
- A doctoral stipend covering living and travel expenses for three
years (with the possibility for prolongation)
Possible Start date: March to July 2023
