Research Scientist

During a three-year renewable appointment at the Boston and/or Portland campuses, Experiential AI Research Scientists, at all levels, depending on qualifications, will perform foundational and/or applied research in AI. At the conclusion, applicants will be evaluated to continue as research faculty at the Roux Institute or at one of Northeastern’s other seven US campuses (Boston, Burlington, Charlotte, Nahant, Seattle, San Francisco, and San Jose).

In response to the shortage of researchers trained in AI, Northeastern seeks research faculty at all levels from computer science and other fields related to Artificial intelligence.

Last year, Northeastern launched a pioneering research and innovation hub in AI—one that will shape the way humans and machines collaborate. Led by Dr. Usama Fayyad, the Experiential AI Institute is built around the challenges and opportunities made possible by human-machine collaboration. The institute provides a framework to design, implement, and scale AI-driven technologies in ways that make a true difference to society. Our ability to respond to the opportunities afforded to society will depend on training and building a workforce that is AI-capable.  Headquartered in Portland, Maine, with the goal of growing the Maine tech economy, the Roux Institute will be the main center of activity for the Experiential AI Institute’s efforts, in addition to efforts in other campuses.

The Culture:
Here at the Institute for Experiential AI (EAI) we are committed to the highest of standards in all that we do.
