Connectionists: Job openings: research positions on multi-agent LLMs for software engineering (Univ. of York, UK)

[Antonio Garcia-Dominguez]

Research Associate and Research Fellow Positions on Multi-Agent
Systems for Software Engineering
---

University of York, UK
Application deadline: Tuesday February 25th, 2025

MOSAICO is a 3-year EU-funded research project that will develop the theoretical
and technical framework needed to enable “AI agent communities” that can solve
complex software engineering tasks by working together with each other, with
non-AI agents (e.g. standard build processes), and with humans. MOSAICO will
produce an integrated platform that handles communication, orchestration,
governance, quality assessment, benchmarking and reuse of AI agents.

The Automated Software Engineering group at the University of York leads the
MOSAICO work package dedicated to the design and development of an AI Agent
Server Protocol (AISP) that enables AI agents to contribute to a wide range of
software engineering activities (e.g. requirements engineering, analysis,
implementation, or testing). AISP will be at the core of the integrated MOSAICO
platform, becoming the lingua franca used by the other work packages on agent
repositories, coordination and collaboration, governance, and use case-driven
validation and evaluation.

We are looking to hire a Research Associate and a Research Fellow for MOSAICO.
