Opening for An ACLab Postdoc in Experiential AI

Dear Colleagues, 
Northeastern recently announced the launch of a new interdisciplinary center for research and learning: the Institute for Experiential AI.

This new institute will focus on advancing human-centered artificial intelligence to solve problems in health, security, and sustainability. We believe that the true promise of AI lies not in its ability to replace humans, but to optimize what humans do best. Experiential AI provides a framework to design, implement, and scale AI-driven technologies in ways that make a true difference to society. To fulfill this promise, the institute will integrate the expertise of up to 50 tenured and tenure-track faculty, research faculty, and post-doctoral researchers, including as many as 30 new hires.

In response to the shortage of researchers trained in AI, Northeastern seeks postdoctoral candidates from other scientific fields to grow its cadre of scholars in Experiential AI (call for position link).  During a two-year postdoctoral appointment, Experiential AI Postdoctoral Fellows will take classes in AI and work in the lab of a member of Northeastern’s Experiential AI faculty. Of particular interest is AI applied to the life sciences and to security.  Candidates are not required to have prior exposure to computer science or AI before beginning the program, but interest and/or significant experience in math is required. 
I am one of the faculty who work in Experiential AI and seeking a postdoctoral fellow for this position. The list of other mentors and proposed research projects can be found here.
EASE SHARE THESE LINKS TO COMMUNITIES/PEOPLE WHO MAY BE INTERESTED IN APPLYING.  Note the candidates are not expected to already be using AI/ML but will be trained in these techniques as part of their postdoc.
