The Machine Learning Department within the School of Computer Science is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate to be part of the NSF AI Institute for Societal Decision Making (AI-SDM). We seek researchers with a PhD in machine learning or a related area who are enthusiastic about collaborating with colleagues in the social and behavioral sciences and public health. The ideal candidate will have a demonstrated interest in connecting machine learning with societal issues.
AI-SDM is a highly interdisciplinary, collaborative environment, and the focus of this position is to serve as a bridge across the institute’s projects. To that end, the postdoctoral fellow will have the opportunity to both lead their own projects as well as collaborate with larger teams and mentor students. The faculty hosts and primary mentors for the fellow will be Aarti Singh and Bryan Wilder. Specific areas of technical research include online learning, sequential decision making, experimental design, and causal inference. The fellow will collaborate with both researchers in the social and behavioral sciences and partners in public health domains to improve interventions in impactful public health settings such as maternal and child health. This will involve both the development of novel AI methodologies which adapt to a patient’s social and emotional context as well as their implementation, deployment, and evaluation in real-world settings.
Your core responsibilities will include:
- Conduct research experiments within the predetermined research scope and methodology of department and university.
- Collect and analyze data, including periodical/literature search and utilizing specialized skills in related field to analyze the collected data.
- Participate/assist in manuscript writing for publication in scientific journals and/or presentations. May also assist in grant writing.
