Binghamton University Job Posting: AI/ML SUNY Empire Innovation Professor

The Thomas J. Watson College of Engineering and Applied Science at Binghamton University invites applications for 2 open faculty positions at the Full or Associate professor levels, with a planned start date of Jan 2024 or Fall 2024. Outstanding candidates at the Assistant Professor level may also be considered.

We invite prominent researchers in the interdisciplinary fields of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), data science and their applications to complex societal problems. We seek, specifically, candidates who conduct and lead research in the design, development and implementation of advanced AI/ML and data theoretic approaches in socially relevant application domains including healthcare and public health, health disparities and equity, agriculture and food security, pandemic and natural disaster prevention and preparedness and energy and environment sustainability. Candidates should possess deep scientific and technical knowledge in the use of AI and Data Science to solve wicked problems and have proven experience in the application of these methodologies in one or more of the domains above. Ideal candidates will possess the fundamental expertise and the interest to apply and or translate their applied knowledge to different domains of critical importance. Expertise in AI ethics and policy are especially valued as is social systems intelligence and human centric AI.

Binghamton University Job Posting: Assistant Professors-Systems Science/Complex Systems/Network Science & Computational Social Science

The Department of Systems Science and Industrial Engineering (SSIE) in the Thomas J. Watson College of Engineering and Applied Science at Binghamton University (The State University of New York at Binghamton) invites applications for two faculty members, at the tenure-track Assistant Professor level, starting in Fall 2023. The positions involve teaching at all levels from undergraduate courses to advanced graduate courses, and establishing theoretical and applied research in emerging areas in systems science.

All positions immediately above are sought to start in Fall 2023 and require advanced expertise in their fields per the description below. Qualified applicants in other emerging areas of the systems science discipline may be considered.

The Assistant Professor – Systems Science/Complex Systems/Network Science position will pursue newer topics such as Complex Systems, Network Science, Network Design, or other emerging topics in the broader discipline of Systems Science. Candidates with experience in the broad area of computational intelligence are preferred.

The Assistant Professor – Computational Social Science/Biomedical Complexity/Epidemiology position is also highly computational. In particular, complex systems science has been particularly successful in building actionable models in social, organizational, and biomedical complexity, which leverage ML/AI/Statistical Inference but add explainability to the management of complex problems. It is expected that candidates applying for this role will pursue much broader applications including, but not limited to, Social Science/Networks, Organizational Science/Networks and Design, Biology, Medicine, and Mental/Public Health Modeling.

Full Professor in Simulation of Complex Adaptive Systems, University of Amsterdam

The Informatics Institute of the University of Amsterdam is looking for an internationally visible and recognized researcher in Complex Adaptive Systems. The emphasis should be on novel computational methods to study the spatio-temporal evolution of emergent properties in a variety of interdisciplinary application domains.

The research will be driven by deep insights in (the theory of) Complex Adaptive Systems and novel computational methods to simulate the dynamics and emergent properties of such complex systems. Research that addresses computational challenges may include methods for simulating, calibrating, and validating large scale models of complex systems. The research will have a strong application pull, for instance in the realms of socio-economic systems or health and health care. Candidates that address interdisciplinary application domains and whose research contributes to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, will be preferred.

The informatics institute pursues research in five main themes: (1) Artificial Intelligence, (2) Computational Science, (3) Data Science, (4) People, Society, Technology, and (5) Systems and Security, embedded in 15 research groups. The professor will be positioned within the Computational Science Lab of the Institute for Informatics. The Computational Science Lab currently has two other full professors, one professor by special appointment, two associate professors, seven assistant professors, and one lecturer. It is expected that the candidate will proactively collaborate with colleagues in the lab and play a central role in mentoring junior staff, PhD candidates and postdocs.
