Assistant or Associate or Full Professor

The Artificial Intelligence Interdisciplinary Institute at Maryland (AIM) has openings for 30 tenured and/or tenure-track faculty positions in Artificial Intelligence, broadly defined.

Launched in Spring 2024, AIM is a collaborative hub for AI, supporting faculty research, offering innovative and experiential learning opportunities and new degree programs, and focusing on responsible and ethical AI technology to advance the public good across industry, government and society. Against the backdrop of accelerating AI development–including generative AI–across an increasingly wide range of human activities, AIM recognizes that successful models of AI research and education must involve expertise from a wide range of disciplines, including (but not limited to) computer science and engineering, and humanistic and social scientific approaches, as well as experts in other disciplines where AI is on the cutting edge. Including these–and other–disciplines in the development of AI will ensure that this technology is developed in a way that supports people and society while minimizing social inequities and breaking down power structures.

The Philosophy department is involved In this initiative, and it will coordinate the upcoming BA degree in artificial intelligence at UMD. The department is particularly interested in soliciting applications to these interdisciplinary jobs from philosophers with specialties in: 

• Philosophical foundations of machine learning
• Ethics and AI
• AI, Language, and Cognition
