Employment Opportunities in AI
Postdoctoral Research Associate, AI2ES
The NSF AI Institute for Research on Trustworthy AI in Weather, Climate, and Coastal Oceanography (AI2ES) is hiring a Postdoctoral Research Associate with expertise in AI/machine learning, Earth System sciences and ethical and responsible conduct of research. Ensuring that AI is developed and deployed in an ethical and responsible manner is a key part of creating trustworthy AI. The Postdoctoral Research Associate will extend our work on bias categorizations for Earth Science applications and help to create a bias and risk management framework.This Postdoctoral Research Associate position will be located at the University of Oklahoma in Norman, OK (remote work is possible) and will work with Dr. Amy McGovern, the PI and director of the AI2ES institute and Dr. Ann Bostrom (co-lead of risk communication for AI2ES, located at the University of Washington). The Postdoctoral Research Associate will also collaborate with other institute personnel at the University of Oklahoma in the School of Computer Science and the School of Meteorology as well as with personnel across AI2ES. This collaboration will also be in conjunction with NIST and their AI Safety Institute as well as with other agencies including NOAA.

2025-2028 IAIFI Fellows
The NSF Institute for Artificial Intelligence and Fundamental Interactions (IAIFI, pronounced /aɪ-faɪ/) is one of the inaugural NSF AI research institutes. The IAIFI is enabling physics discoveries and advancing foundational AI through the development of novel AI approaches that incorporate first principles, best practices, and domain knowledge from fundamental physics. AI is transforming many aspects of society, including the ways that scientists are pursuing groundbreaking discoveries. To facilitate these advances, the IAIFI seeks a talented, promising, and diverse group of researchers at an early stage of their careers to join the IAIFI Fellowship program. The role of an IAIFI Fellow is to spark vital interdisciplinary, multi-investigator, multi-subfield collaborations across the primary IAIFI thrusts of theoretical physics, experimental physics, and foundational AI. Such collaborations have immense power to generate new ideas and approaches in both physics and AI, to facilitate abstracting physics challenges beyond their native domains to inform the development of cutting-edge AI tools, and to instill a common language across disciplines. Our program aims to appoint new postdoctoral IAIFI Fellows each academic year, for a three-year fellowship term each.
Fellows will be selected through an annual application process. Applicants should have, or be expected to receive by September 1, 2025, a PhD in Physics, Statistics, Computer Science, or a related field. Complete applications must include:
- Cover letter (no more than 1 page);
- CV (1-2 pages recommended, but longer accepted);
- Statement of research interests (no more than 2 pages);
- List of publications;
- Exactly three reference letters.
The deadline to receive all the materials (including all reference letters) is October 9, 2024.
