We are now accepting applications for the MIT Intelligence Initiative (I²) Postdoctoral Fellowships. This program is designed to enhance and showcase interdisciplinary research on intelligence at MIT. The fellowship will be awarded only to candidates with strong scientific accomplishments and who propose innovative research bridging at least two different MIT labs. Current postdoctoral fellows/associates may apply as well as any recent PhD graduates (PhD program requirements must be completed prior to start of postdoctoral fellowship.)

What if machines could think like us - comprehending social cues, visual prompts and spoken words just like a human would? For CSAIL Professor Patrick Winston, the Ford Professor of Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science and leader of the Genesis Group at CSAIL, uncovering the true nature of human intelligence is the next grand challenge.
