Research Associate (f/m/d) Knowledge Graphs and Dynamic Logics for AI in Manufacturing
Job Advertisement
Funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), the Research Unit "AI-based Methodology for the Fast Maturation of Immature Manufacturing Processes" FOR5339 was recently established at KIT and Fraunhofer institutes.
The research group Web Science deals with the development and application of artificial intelligence (AI) methods. This includes the semantic representation of knowledge through knowledge graphs, machine learning, and the processing of natural language.
You will be part of a large, interdisciplinary team from the fields of production engineering and computer science and explore fundamentally new approaches in seven sub-projects to make the complex development phases of new production processes faster, more cost-effective and efficient through the targeted use of AI methods.
Your activities include research in the field of Semantic Web/Linked Data/Knowledge Graphs for manufacturing. Your work will be to investigate novel methods in order to answer hybrid queries on semantic (i.e. factual) and physical knowledge (as represented in physical models based rooted in differential equations) from asset administration shells and digital twins using AI methods.
In addition to research work, you are also active in teaching, especially Artificial Intelligence, and you participate in science administration.
There is the possibility of pursuing a doctorate.
You have a degree (Master) in Industrial Engineering and Management, Informatics/Computer Science, Business Informatics, or in related fields. Ideally, you have experience in:
- Semantic Technologies or symbolic Artificial Intelligence
- Formal Methods to model dynamic systems
and you are interested in topics including:
- Manufacturing
- Question answering
- Large Language Models
- Research data management
- Asset administration shells and digital twins
Programming experience is highly advantageous. On top, you can excel using a high level of self-motivation and the ability to work in a team. A very good command of the English language in speech and writing completes your profile. Proficiency in German is very welcome.
The remuneration occurs on the basis of the wage agreement of the civil service in EG-13, depending on the fulfillment of professional and personal requirements.
