Description:
The College of Arts & Sciences at Cornell University invites
applications for a two-year postdoctoral fellowship (appointment
title: Postdoctoral Associate) focused on artificial intelligence in
the humanities and social sciences. Our aim is to appoint up to 5 new
fellows in the first year. Desirable areas of research include the
social and cultural impacts of AI, computational methods and theories
for humanistic and social scientific inquiry, and the ethical,
political, or historic dimensions of artificial intelligence but we
will consider outstanding applicants working at the intersection of AI
and any humanities or social science discipline. Fellows will have the
option to teach one undergraduate course each year.
The first year of appointment will run 1 August 2027–31 July 2028; the
second year will run 1 August 2028–31 July 2029.
Fellows are expected to be in residence for the term of the
appointment and to take an active role in the intellectual life of
their home department, the College of Arts & Sciences, and Cornell
University, including relevant AI-focused initiatives across the
university.
Fellows will be provided with workspace and an annual salary of
$70,000, full benefits, and a research account of $4,000 per year.
Additional research funds will be available by application.
Eligibility: Eligibility is limited to external candidates whose PhD
will be conferred by August 1, 2027. Candidates with Cornell PhDs
conferred between 2022-2025 are also eligible. Applicants must be
sponsored by a tenure-stream faculty member in the College of Arts &
Sciences. International scholars are welcome to apply, contingent upon
visa eligibility.
Application Procedures: The following application materials must be
submitted via Academic Jobs Online [position # 32791] by November 15,
2026.
1.      Cover letter, describing how the applicant's research engages
AI in relation to the humanities or social sciences.
2.      Curriculum vitae.
3.      One article-length writing sample.
4.      Three letters of recommendation. One letter must come from a
tenure-stream faculty member in the College of Arts & Sciences who has
agreed to sponsor and mentor the postdoc. Please ask referees to
upload their letters directly through the link provided by Academic
Jobs Online.
5.      Optional: course proposal with sample syllabus for upper-level
undergraduate course related to AI
