Team

ELLIS Alicante aims to set the European and world benchmark for AI research by and for people and is the only ELLIS unit dedicated exclusively to this area. We address three important research areas: computational modeling of human behavior, development of intelligent interactive systems, and the ethical challenges of current AI.

Researchers

ELLIS Alicante is actively recruiting junior and senior full-time researchers, with competitive salaries and a flexible working environment.

In addition to our research staff, we are excited to collaborate with distinguished scientists who recognized as Associate Researchers at ELLIS Alicante (honorary position) and with Visiting Scientists who come spend some time at our lab.
