About The Position

Princeton University is hiring AI Postdoctoral Research Fellows to join the Princeton Societal AI (PSAI) Initiative within Data and Intelligent Systems (DaiS), conducting research focused on societal AI.

A strong foundation in computational humanities or cultural analytics, alongside humanistic and interpretive approaches to AI systems, is expected.

Appointments are made at the Postdoctoral Research Associate rank for one year and may be renewed annually, subject to funding and fulfillment of other requirements. The position is in-person on the Princeton University campus. Fellows receive a competitive salary, benefits, office space and equipment, dedicated compute resources, and annual research support. A PhD is required. Princeton values in-person collaboration and expects selected candidates to participate in person.
