<p class="u-align-justify u-text u-text-default u-text-2"><b>CosmicAI Fellowship: <span style="font-weight: 400;">The newly established NSF-Simons CosmicAI Institute seeks to hire an outstanding Postdoctoral Fellow specializing in AI with a focus on Explainable and Interpretable AI (XAI) methods. The Fellow will play a key role in advancing research efforts aimed at creating innovative AI techniques, with a particular focus on causal inference with AI and symbolic modeling tailored for complex data analysis in astronomy. The Fellow, based at the University of Texas at Austin, will work closely with Dr. Arya Farahi and Dr. Alessandro Rinaldo at the Department of Statistics and Data Sciences and will collaborate with researchers across the Institute to facilitate the development of cutting-edge AI tools and methodologies. While collaboration with natural scientists (such as astronomers and physicists) is encouraged, a background in these fields is not required. We are seeking candidates with expertise in AI methodologies such as causal inference or symbolic modeling and an interest in interdisciplinary collaboration. The Fellow will have access to cutting-edge computational resources, including Vista, a 600-GPU node cluster at the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC). </span>
<br>
<br>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The Fellow will be expected to spend 50% of their time on Institute-related research efforts, with the remaining 50% available for independent research; ideally, there will be substantial overlap between the two. The appointment is for two years, with the possibility of renewal for a third year.</span>

<br>About CosmicAI Institute: <span style="font-weight: 400;">
<a href="https://www.cosmicai.org/" class="u-active-none u-border-none u-btn u-button-link u-button-style u-hover-none u-none u-text-palette-1-base u-btn-1">The NSF-Simons AI Institute for Cosmic Origins</a> (CosmicAI) aims to grow transformative AI advances with the overarching goal to increase the accessibility of astronomy data and knowledge for researchers, students, and the public. CosmicAI leverages partnerships between academia (UT Austin, U. of Virginia, U. of Utah, UCLA), national facilities (NSF NRAO and NSF NOIRLab), nonprofits/foundations, and industry to develop capabilities that enable astronomical researchers to conceptualize, define, and execute research projects via trustworthy, efficient, robust, and explainable AI methods. By building next-generation AI tools, the Institute aims to accelerate discoveries related to the most basic human question: Where do we come from?
