Saturday, March 09, 2024 by Chris Wellekens

6-17 (2023-10-15) Fully funded PhD positions at CUBES, University of Memphis, TN, USA
  

The CUBES (Computational Understanding of Behaviors, Experiences, and Subjective states) Lab at the University of Memphis is seeking outstanding candidates for fully funded positions within the PhD program in Computer Science. We are looking for students interested in research at the intersection of machine learning, psychology, and signal processing and specializing in affective computing, human-computer interaction, and ethical human-centered machine learning.

 

Ideal candidates should have experience in:

-      Data analytics, machine learning, and/or trustworthy and fair AI

-      Human-centered applications either in research or industry

-      Research communication (e.g., publications, presentations, master’s thesis)

 

Interested candidates should apply to the PhD program at UofM and list Dr. Brandon Booth as a potential PhD advisor. Priority screening of applications for the Spring 2024 term will begin on November 1st, 2023, and applications will be accepted through December 1st, 2023. We particularly welcome candidates from groups that are historically underrepresented in computer science.

 

Join the CUBES Lab at UofM!

The goal of CUBES Lab is to use multimodal AI to understand, track, and promote beneficial mental states/experiences/behaviors in real-life settings without perpetuating group biases. We conduct basic research to realize informative and interpretable representations of experiences, and we aim to close the loop in interactive experience monitoring, scale up experience modeling systems, and find unique ways for human-AI teams to succeed where either alone may fail.  Our work is inclusive of new ideas and directions, especially in interdisciplinary and translational research in education, health, procedural fairness, and other prosocial domains.

 

Join our PhD Program in Computer Science at UofM!

The University of Memphis is a top-tier research university with a Carnegie R1 designation, and we are committed to engaging PhD students in cutting-edge research in their area of interest.  Our PhD program builds both breadth (through core graduate courses) and depth (via a rich selection of advanced courses and requiring participation in research projects), and it provides opportunities to work with interdisciplinary teams on federally funded research collaborations. For example, CS faculty lead the NIH-funded mDOT Biomedical Technology Resource Center and the Center for Information Assurance (CfIA). In addition, CS faculty work closely with multidisciplinary centers at the university such as the Institute for Intelligent Systems (IIS).
