The department of Computer Science offers three bachelor’s degree programmes and a master’s degree programme, in addition to research and development activities. The department has approximately 1500 students and consists of 60 staff members.

There are currently several research groups at the Department. 

Job Description

A temporary Postdoctoral Fellow position in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is offered for the period of 2 years, with a possible extension, in the Department of Computer Science at Oslo Metropolitan University.

The candidate will be affiliated to the Department of Computer Science and to the OsloMet/SimulaMet AI Lab, working within the Excellent Academic Environment, NordSTAR Nordic Center for Sustainable and Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence Research, which is hosted by OsloMet and includes partners from several research centres and universities in Norway, such as Simula Research Laboratory and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU).

Modern AI can document impressive results and even outperform human beings on many tasks. The methods are however also associated with many challenges that limit the trust when the methods are applied. NordSTAR aims to improve trustworthiness in AI methods by addressing four challenges. 1) It is usually hard to understand the mechanism in complex AI methods leading to the predictions, 2) there are important human factors in the application of AI, both legally and ethically, 3)  the methods usually are not able to quantify how certain they are about their decisions, 4) running large and complex machine learning systems opens up security issues.

NordSTAR is composed by 5 main research areas:

The candidate’s project will intersect some of NordSTAR’s challenges, focusing on developing methodology to address problems of Explainable AI and Machine Learning. Preference will be given to projects bridging Explainable AI and Machine Learning with one or more of the following topics:
