Postdoc position in epistemology of machine learning (3y), Munich (Germany)

The Emmy Noether research group "From Bias to Knowledge: The Epistemology of Machine Learning," led by Dr. Tom Sterkenburg, works on the philosophical foundations of machine learning. The group aims to improve our understanding of inductive bias in machine learning algorithms, by building bridges between the philosophy of science and the mathematical theory of machine learning. The group is embedded within the Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy (MCMP) at the LMU Munich.

We are looking for a postdoctoral fellow with a background and strong interest in the philosophy of artificial intelligence and/or philosophy of science, and ideally affinity with the mathematics and epistemology of machine learning. The deadline for applications is 1 December 2024, the intended starting date is 1 April 2025.
