Research Positions in AI at SRI International The Representation and Reasoning group within the Artificial Intelligence Center at SRI International is accepting applications for the following two positions.
Computer Scientist -- We are looking for a research scientist with interests and experience in one or more of the following areas: agent-based systems, planning, learning, uncertainty. Initial responsibilities will involve working with current staff on a range of basic and applied research projects, with the expectation that the hired individual will initiate their own research programs in the longer term. Candidates are sought with strong technical skills, breadth of knowledge within AI and Computer Science, research promise, and team orientation. A Ph.D. in computer science or a related field is required. Research Engineer -- We are looking for an experienced programmer to assist with the development of next-generation AI software tools and applications related to reactive control, planning, and scheduling. The ideal candidate will have broad familiarity with AI and experience in developing AI technologies. Strong background with a range of programming languages is desired, including Common Lisp, Java, C, and C++. A B.S. or M.S. in computer science or related field is required. Artificial Intelligence Center at SRI International SRI International is a not-for-profit research institute headquartered in Menlo Park, California. SRI's Artificial Intelligence Center (AIC) is one of the world's major centers for research in artificial intelligence. Founded in 1966, the AIC has been a pioneer and a major contributor to the development of computer capabilities for intelligent behavior in complex situations. The AIC focuses on comprehensive long-term research and development programs in reasoning, natural language and speech understanding, perception, and robotics. Its objectives are to understand the computational principles underlying intelligence in man and machines and to develop methods for building computer-based systems to solve problems, to communicate with people, and to perceive and interact with the physical world. The Center provides the stimulation and creative exchange of ideas characteristic of an academic setting by maintaining associations with universities and other research groups and by providing opportunities for students and visiting fellows to participate in ongoing projects. The AIC maintains a staff of approximately 50 professionals, supplemented by international visitors and students. Approximately 80% of these professionals have a Ph.D., reflecting its commitment to conducting basic research and developing ground-breaking applications.
