Postdoctoral Research Associate

The Computer Science Department invites applications for postdoctoral research or more senior research positions to work on an interdisciplinary project exploring decision-making in humans and AI systems and the circumstances under which people will trust AI systems to make decisions on their behalf. This is a collaborative project with researchers at Princeton University (Tom Griffiths, Peter Henderson, Tania Lombrozo, Natalia Vélez), New York University (Mark Ho, Ilia Sucholutsky), Boston University (Josh Peterson), and Cornell University (Nori Jacoby), and will provide opportunities to visit and collaborate with members of these different research groups.

Individuals with evidence of experience in scholarly research and a strong commitment to excellence in education are encouraged to apply.

PhD in computer science, cognitive science, or a related field is required.

Applicants must apply online at https://www.princeton.edu/acad-positions/position/40461 and include a cover letter, curriculum vitae, research statement and names and contact information for three references.

The Term of appointment is based on rank.
