The Accelerated AI Algorithms for Data-Driven Discovery (A3D3) Institute funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), under the Harnessing the Data Revolution (HDR) program, is seeking postbaccalaureate research fellows to join our interdisciplinary teams of scientists and engineers to develop and deploy artificial intelligence (AI) to accelerate science discoveries in particle physics, astrophysics, biology, and neuroscience. We strongly encourage women and individuals from traditionally underrepresented groups in STEM, such as African American/Black, Chicano/Latino, Native American/Alaska Native, Native Hawaiin/Pacific Islander, and Filipino, to apply. A3D3 is a multi-disciplinary and geographically distributed entity with the primary mission to lead a paradigm shift in the application of real-time artificial intelligence (AI) at scale to advance scientific knowledge and accelerate discovery. The Institute team reflects a collaborative effort of Principal Investigators from Caltech, Duke University, MIT, Purdue University, University of California San Diego, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, University of Minnesota, University of Washington, and University of Wisconsin-Madison. Postbac fellows will be assigned to one of the projects listed at https://a3d3.ai/jobs.html at one of the hosting institutions based on preferences and availability. Postbac fellows will also have access to professional development opportunities including career guidance and graduate school preparation. The appointment is for a one-year term with a nominal start date of June 5, 2023, although some flexibility will be allowed to potentially start in July or August. This is a full-time, salaried position with benefits. Application requirements:
Location: This position will be physically located one of the hosting institutes: University of California San Diego, University of Minnesota, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Duke University, University of Washington, or California Institute of Technology Application deadline: March 3, 2023 Notification date: April 21, 2023 Covid measures: Comply with local institute Applications will be handled through Academic Jobs Online. Evaluation criteria: Candidates will be evaluated on the basis of a holistic rubric including categories for academic preparation (based on transcript and letters), research potential (based on letters and responses to prompts), social justice and community involvement (based on letters and responses to prompts), noncognitive competencies (such as the ability to collaborate, lead, or overcome adversity), alignment with the program, and potential benefit from the program (e.g., lack of prior access to research opportunities). There is no minimum GPA requirement. |
