Full TimePostdoctoral Research Opportunity on AI Safety at Carnegie Mellon University
Location: Pittsburgh PA
Duration: 1 year
Application Deadline: Feb 7, 2025
We are seeking a talented and motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our team for a cutting-edge project on AI Safety.
Description
The Heinz College of Information Systems and Public Policy at Carnegie Mellon University has created a postdoctoral fellowship program designed to encourage outstanding PhD recipients to pursue academic careers. The fellowship program seeks applicants whose research or creative practice, teaching and service contributes to diversity and equal opportunity in higher education and, in particular, the advancement of women and underrepresented minorities. This program complements and supplements the university-wide President’s Post-Doctoral Fellowship program (https://www.cmu.edu/faculty-office/ppfp/).
The Heinz College (http://www.heinz.cmu.edu) is a multi-disciplinary academic unit dedicated to the study of issues that involve people, public policy and information technology. The College, since its founding in 1968 as the School of Urban and Public Affairs, has had a long history of commitment to inclusiveness, made ever more relevant in today’s world of technology-driven change.
We offer postdoctoral fellowships and mentoring to scholars whose research or teaching will contribute to diversity at Heinz. Applicants are encouraged to contact faculty at the Heinz College to learn more about research in their area of interest.
Applicants who have strong background in machine learning, natural language processing, and human-computer interactions are encouraged to apply to the program.
Applicants should have received a Ph.D. within the last two years – or expected by July 2025. We are seeking scholars with the potential to bring to their academic and research careers the critical perspective that comes from their understanding of the experiences of members of groups historically underrepresented in higher education in the United States.
Applications should include a cover letter discussing how your research or teaching will contribute to diversity at Heinz College, a C.V., up to two research papers, and contact information for three professional references. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, beginning Jan 6, 2025. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled.
