The appointment is at the Research Assistant Professor level. This is a full-time, non-tenure-track position. The Institute is funding a renewable two-year, 12-month position.
This position is part of a bargaining unit and is represented by a union, SEIU Local 200 United.
Qualifications
Applicants will need a PhD in the areas of Computer Science or a related discipline within the School of Computer Science and Engineering. Applicants without a PhD will be considered, but the PhD should be awarded before they begin the position.

Resilient and hybrid AI is defined to include research where multiple AI techniques are combined (e.g., neurosymbolic AI, cognitive models with deep learning, LLM agents with verification infrastructure, etc.) with a focus on resiliency (e.g., AI systems that provide improved accountability, AI systems that can adhere to constraints, AI systems that can support mission critical requirements, and related topics). Further, we will provide special consideration to applicants whose technical research has applications to the following areas: cybersecurity, multidomain intelligence, socio-cognitive modeling, human-computer interaction, improved AI hardware systems, and governance and policy.
Additionally, applicants should have an active and rigorous research agenda and a demonstrated record of securing, or readiness to pursue external funding.
