Tenure-Track Faculty in Artificial Intelligence

The Department of Computer Science at the University of Colorado (CU) Boulder seeks applications for two tenure-track Assistant Professor positions in artificial intelligence, broadly construed. We invite applications from all areas of AI. Areas of current interest include the following:

• Foundations of machine learning
• Multimodal models
• Alignment and AI safety
• Physical and embodied AI
• Reasoning
• Systems that make large models trainable and deployable

This list is illustrative rather than exhaustive. Applicants whose work falls outside these areas are encouraged to apply, including applicants whose work spans artificial intelligence and another discipline.

Artificial intelligence is a growth area for the campus and for the department. The Department of Computer Science offers a Bachelor of Science in Artificial Intelligence, and these two positions are part of a broader cluster of AI hiring. The department has recently made strategic investments in two AI Centers. Computing has been expanded alongside that: a Research Computing reinvestment has added NVIDIA H200 capacity, supported in part by the college and the department, with a share of it dedicated to teaching.

AI research at CU Boulder extends beyond computer science into partners across the College of Engineering and Applied Science, cognitive science, information science, and collaborations with the federal laboratories along the Colorado Front Range. The Boulder area also supports a growing concentration of companies working in artificial intelligence and robotics.

CU is an Equal Opportunity Employer and complies with all applicable federal, state, and local laws governing nondiscrimination in employment. We are committed to creating a workplace where all individuals are treated with respect and dignity, and we encourage individuals from all backgrounds to apply, including protected veterans and individuals with disabilities.

The University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder) is one of Colorado’s flagship public institutions and among the most research-active public universities in the country. The College of Engineering and Applied Science is the second largest school or college on the CU Boulder campus and boasts top-tier rankings for both its graduate and undergraduate engineering programs. Earning the 11th spot among public graduate programs and 17th nationwide for undergraduate engineering.

Multiple specialty areas are also ranked within the top 20. Equally importantly, we are committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and academically excellent community. Our approximately 250 tenure-track, 120 instructional-track, and 30 research-track faculty serve more than 6,000 undergraduate students, 1,300 master’s students, and 850 PhD students. Our college has three core foci: (i) Research & Innovation, (ii) Education, and (iii) Inclusion.

We believe that our college’s success requires faculty who actively work to create an inclusive culture within the college and are committed to the campus plan of creating and sustaining supportive campus environments.
