Tenure-Track Assistant/Associate Professor Positions in Applied AI/ML and Advanced AI Applications

As part of the University of Wyoming's (UW's) AI Strategic Initiative and the President's AI Across the University Commission, UW invites applications for three (3) tenure-track Assistant/Associate Professor positions in applied artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and advanced applications of AI. We seek faculty who will build collaborative research programs, secure significant external research funding, and create impactful learning experiences for students.

For a position designated at the Assistant Professor rank, candidates must demonstrate strong potential to build a nationally recognized, externally supported research program. For positions designated at the Associate Professor rank, candidates are expected to have a nationally recognized, established record of scholarship, external research funding and leadership. We welcome candidates from academic, applied, and interdisciplinary backgrounds, including those with experience in industry, national laboratories, government, or community‑engaged settings, particularly where AI/ML connects to real‑world impact.

UW is conducting a multi‑department AI Faculty Cluster Hire to recruit scholars who will join UW's expanding community of researchers applying AI and data‑intensive methods to scientific, engineering, societal, and translational challenges. This cluster will support research and teaching across strategically important domains in the partnering academic units.
