Multiple Tenured and Tenure-Track Faculty Positions in Human Intelligence, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning at Indiana University-Bloomington
The College of Arts and Sciences and the Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering at Indiana University Bloomington invite applications for multiple open-rank, tenured or tenure-track faculty positions in one or more of the following areas: artificial intelligence, human intelligence, and machine learning to begin in Fall 2025 or after. Appointments will be in one or more departments, including Cognitive Science, Computer Science, Informatics, Intelligent Systems Engineering, Mathematics, and Psychological and Brain Sciences.
We encourage applications from scholars who apply interdisciplinary perspectives across these fields to a variety of domains, including cognitive science, computational social sciences, computer vision, education, engineering, healthcare, mathematics, natural language processing, neuroscience, psychology, robotics, virtual reality, and beyond. Reflecting IU’s strong tradition of interdisciplinary research, we encourage diverse perspectives and innovative research that may intersect with or extend beyond these areas.
The positions are part of a new university-wide initiative that aims to transform our understanding of human and artificial intelligence, involving multiple departments and schools, as well as the new Luddy Artificial Intelligence Center. IU has long been an international leader in research on cognition across humans, animals, and artificial systems, and how intelligence manifests in embodied cognition. These hires build on existing strengths to position IU at the forefront of new research innovations in our understanding of human and animal cognition, the development of intelligent computing technologies, and the use of machine learning applied to a wide range of phenomena.
Qualifications: Applicants must have a PhD in cognitive science, computer science, engineering, mathematics, neuroscience, psychology, or a related field, and a record of excellence in scholarship, teaching, and professional experience commensurate with taking a leading role in AI/ML at IU Bloomington. The positions are open at all ranks. To advance scholarly innovation and excellence, we especially welcome candidates whose demonstrated experience, research, teaching, and mentoring will support the university’s priorities related to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Responsibilities: Candidates are expected to sustain an active, externally funded research program, to engage undergraduate and graduate students through effective teaching, and to participate in service to the university and the profession. Candidates should be able to work effectively in a team environment, and to interact with our diverse student and faculty community. As such we are especially interested in applicants with a record of successful teaching and mentoring of students from diverse backgrounds; applicants are encouraged to address this experience in their letter of application and define how this experience will enhance their research, mentoring, teaching, and/or service at IUB.
Application Procedures: To apply, submit a CV, letter of application that describes your research, teaching, and engagement with fostering a diverse and welcoming work environment, and provide the names of three references. References will only be contacted for those candidates moving to advanced stages of consideration. Interested candidates should submit applications at: https://indiana.peopleadmin.com/postings/25788.
Application review begins November 1, 2024, but we welcome submissions after this date. We accommodate varied timelines across disciplines to ensure all qualified applicants are considered. The position’s expected start date is August 1, 2025; however, alternative dates can be considered. All queries about the position or the application procedures may be addressed to faculty1@indiana.edu.
