Description
The Cognitive Science & Artificial Intelligence Department at Tilburg University together with the Netherlands Defence Academy invites applications for two fully-funded postdoctoral positions in the interdisciplinary area of scenario forecasting. This position is in collaboration with the Data Science Center of Excellence of the Ministry of Defense of the Netherlands. The project consortium brings together a number of pioneering experts in the field and aims to develop and reflect on (AI) solutions to how to deal with new challenges in cybersecurity of the Dutch armed forces.
The postdoctoral candidates will work on a project developing and evaluating forecasting models for the analysis of defense relevant scenarios. The project will be led by prof. Dr. Roy Lindelauf (NLDA, TiU), and prof. Dr. Marie Postma (Cognitive Science & Artificial Intelligence Department at Tilburg University). The project aims to integrate concepts, methodologies, and information derived from Bayesian modeling, data science, cognitive science, and risk analysis. Its primary objective is to create advanced forecasting models, generate meaningful indicators using open source data, assess the reliability of these models, and validate them through applicable use-cases.

The School and the department
The Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence department (https://csai.nl/) at Tilburg University is part of the Tilburg School of Humanities and Digital Sciences. The department emphasizes innovative research spanning a wide array of fields including computational linguistics and language technology, data-science, human-robot interaction, virtual reality and serious games. CSAI is a member of the Benelux Association for Artificial Intelligence, participates in the Special Interest Group for AI (SIG AI), and also participates in the Confederation of Laboratories for Artificial Intelligence Research in Europe (CLAIRE). Tilburg University and the CSAI department offer a vibrant international environment, with current CSAI staff originating from more than 10 countries.
The Data Science Center of Excellence of the Ministry of Defense is the premier research institute on Defense data science in the Netherlands. Its main tasks are academic research on data science for relevant units within the Defense Department and to support education on relevant data science courses at the Netherlands Defense Academy and for the Ministry of Defense.
The collective labor agreement of the Dutch Universities applies.
Research and education at the Tilburg School of Humanities and Digital Sciences (TSHD) has a unique focus on humans in the context of the globalizing digital society, on the development of artificial intelligence and interactive technologies, on their impact on communication, culture and society, and on moral and existential challenges that arise. The School of Humanities and Digital Sciences consists of four departments: Communication and Cognition, Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence, Culture Studies and Philosophy; several research institutes and a faculty office. Also the University College Tilburg is part of the School. Each year around 275 students commence a Bachelor or (Pre) Master Program. The School has approximately 2000 students and 250 employees.
