Princeton University is seeking to hire AI Postdoctoral Research Fellows to join the Princeton Societal AI (PSAI) Initiative as part of Data and Intelligent Systems (DaiS) to conduct research focused on societal AI.
Postdoctoral Research Fellows will be part of a dedicated research community that includes leading faculty, research fellows, scientists, software engineers, postdocs, and graduate students. Fellows will have access to a state-of-the-art AI Lab GPU cluster to support large-scale experimentation and evaluation.
Ideal candidates will have demonstrated experience in “societal AI” especially as related to culture. We seek scholars working on AI as a "cultural technology" — including its role in disciplinary practice across the arts and humanities and in knowledge infrastructures - as well as those examining AI's broader societal effects - including on creative and cultural industries (literature, music, film, visual arts). A strong foundation in computational humanities or cultural analytics, combined with humanistic and interpretive approaches to AI systems, is expected.
Postdoctoral Research Fellows will be appointed through Data and Intelligent Systems (DaiS) and will receive a competitive salary, benefits, office space and equipment, dedicated compute resources, and annual research support. Appointments will be made at the Postdoctoral Research Associate rank.
Postdoctoral appointments will be for one year, renewable annually based on funding and meeting all other requirements.
Postdoctoral requirements: Princeton University places high value on in-person collaborations and interactions, and we expect selected candidates to participate in-person. PhD is required. The work location for this position is in-person on campus at Princeton University.
These positions are not eligible for sponsorship of an H-1B visa requiring consular processing; other visa sponsorships (including H-1B visas not requiring consular processing) may be available, as appropriate.
