The University of Alberta is pursuing an Artificial Intelligence (AI) Cohort Hire initiative to hire 21 faculty members doing AI and Machine Learning (ML) research across a range of disciplines and departments. AI/ML has the potential to transform almost all fields of study within the University and almost all aspects of society outside the University. As part of this AI Cohort Hire we are looking for scholars who are actively pursuing this transformational capacity of AI/ML within their own disciplines. In particular, researchers pursuing AI/ML advances within science, healthcare, robotics and automation, and the impact of these advances on society are priority areas for this AI Cohort Hire. AI/ML impacting other disciplines will also be considered.

The successful candidates must hold a PhD (or equivalent) degree by the appointment date. They are expected to have demonstrated research potential strong enough for a promising nomination as a Canada CIFAR AI Chair, typically evidenced by publications in top venues (conferences or journals) within their field. Their research accomplishments should clearly include fundamental advances in AI/ML or fundamental advances in how AI/ML is applied within their discipline. They should also have strong communication skills and demonstrated commitment to highly effective graduate and undergraduate teaching. They will be expected to establish their own funded research programs, supervise graduate students, and teach graduate and undergraduate courses as expected by their home department.

Application deadline: Open until filled.
