The SMAC Team of the IRIT lab (Institut de Recherche en Informatique de Toulouse) invites applications for a one-year postdoctoral fellowship in the EmoTES project funded by the ANR. The aim of the EmoTES project is to study a specific class of emotions, so-called “strategic emotions”, namely those emotions such as guilt, remorse… which arise in the context of strategic interaction (that is, when an agent’s utility of a given choice also depends on other agents’ behaviors). The main goal […]
