The School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence (SCAI) at Arizona State University (ASU) invites applications for a postdoctoral scholar position in the area of augmented intelligence. We define augmented intelligence broadly as computer science research that lies at the intersection of artificial intelligence and human reasoning. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, artificial intelligence, machine learning, human-computer interaction, visualization, database systems, and cybersecurity.

SCAI is part of the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering. Here at SCAI, we envision a society where secure, accurate, and current information is ubiquitously available and data is seamlessly collected, managed, and converted into information that entertains individuals, empowers businesses and guides the decisions of both in their daily affairs. We envision our school as a community recognized by its colleagues internationally as a leader in envisioning and enabling the information-driven society and by students as a preferred location for acquiring the knowledge and skills necessary to contribute to this vision.

SCAI has a strong track record of fostering an inclusive environment for our faculty (including research faculty), academic professionals, staff, and students. We have had broad representation across the National Science Foundation (NSF)-defined underrepresented populations in computing, including women, African Americans, Hispanics, and persons with disabilities. Our faculty have experience in establishing training programs for multidisciplinary junior scholars. These include NSF’s IGERT/NRT Program and the T32 Program from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

We also have strong research programs with participation from both SCAI faculty and researchers from other ASU including the Biodesign Institute, the Global Institute of Sustainability and Innovation, the Global Security Initiative, etc. Many of SCAI’s research programs also include partners from renowned industry partners such as the Mayo Clinic and TGen, and, according to many quantitative metrics such as funding from competitive federal sources and impact of research as measured by publications in premier venues and their citations, our faculty have built a strong reputation with global visibility.

Furthermore, as we grow our outreach efforts, we will become a hub for broadly attracting aspiring Ph.D. students from underrepresented communities who are looking for an inclusive home to advance their career. Presidential Postdoctoral Fellows will be directly integrated into SCAI where they will work directly on interdisciplinary research with a diverse group of faculty, students, and industry partners who collaborate on projects to solve real-world computing problems. We will target areas of expertise that add to SCAI’s strategic research (Computing and Augmented Intelligence) focusing at the intersection of Computer Science and Industrial Engineering and enhance the inclusive culture in SCAI.

We seek applicants who will contribute to our programs and expand collaborations with existing faculty at ASU. Located in Tempe with easy access to the outdoors and urban amenities, ASU's vibrant and innovative approaches to research and teaching are charting new paths in education and research in the public interest.

Primary job duties will include:

• Advancing research and developing a research agenda appropriate for a tenure-track academic position. This includes publishing peer-reviewed articles, presenting research at national and international conferences, and pursuing research funding.
• Pursuing teaching and/or other educational opportunities such as co-teaching, delivery of seminars, or other creative mentoring activities.

The postdoctoral scholars selected will join a cohort of 10-15 other postdoctoral scholars at ASU as part of the Presidential Postdoctoral Fellowship Program. The goal of the program is to support the career development of outstanding Ph.D. recipients with great potential for advancing the ASU Charter into a future tenure track appointment at ASU.

The program seeks applicants whose professional preparedness, experience, and accomplishments are informed by experiences working with and within groups historically underrepresented in higher education in the United States. Where pools of qualified applicants are strong, priority will be given to applicants who demonstrate, through prior actions and achievements, intentional and actioned commitment to inclusiveness.  Examples of such contributions are research or creative activity focused on empowering underserved populations; teaching, mentorship, and service that increases equitable access; and inclusion in fields where historically excluded populations are underrepresented.

SCAI has committed to provide individualized mentorship and career development to ensure each candidate is well prepared to succeed in a future tenure-track appointment. Career development and community building will also occur through programmatic support at the ASU Graduate College’s Postdoctoral Affairs Office.
