The Agents, Interaction and Complexity (AIC) group within Electronics and Computer Science, at the University of Southampton, welcomes applications for a full time post at either Lecturer or Associate Professor level.

Electronics and Computer Science (ECS) is the largest and most distinguished School of its kind in the UK, with a worldwide reputation for its research,enterprise and research-lead teaching.

The AIC group undertakes world-leading, interdisciplinary research into the science and engineering of computing systems, in particular those that connect people and technology. We are interested in complex socio-technical, socio-economic and socio-ecological systems that underpin the most pressing challenges currently facing society. Problems as diverse as engineering resilient and sustainable smart infrastructure, or refactoring health-care systems to cope with demographic change, understanding voting patterns, or anticipating and mitigating the impacts of climate change, all involve building and analysing complex systems comprising many interacting agents, including people and other organisms, hardware robots and autonomous software agents.

AIC is a highly interdisciplinary group, not only collaborating across areas in Electronics and Computer Science, but across disciplines from physics and maths to psychology and the humanities.  We are therefore actively seeking colleagues with excellent research track records and demonstrated ability to build collaborations, especially across disciplinary boundaries, and to engage in and to lead exciting, innovative work.

Applications are welcome in any of the group’s key areas of interaction, complexity and agent-based systems as well as other areas that support the research themes and ongoing projects in the group. Information analytics and visualisation, serious games/play, machine learning are examples of areas of particular additional interest.
