Within the SILS liberal arts program, we seek a candidate who can complement and strengthen our existing curriculum through expertise in Artificial Intelligence and related methodologies.

We particularly welcome candidates with strong expertise in AI-related research who are capable of teaching core concepts and hands-on modeling to undergraduate students in a liberal arts setting.
