Cross-disciplinary tenure-track position

Pitt’s School of Computing and Information and the Learning Research and Development Center (LRDC) aim to jointly fill a tenure-track position. LRDC is advancing the science of learning in an established multi-disciplinary setting, where learning is studied in its cognitive, neural, social and organizational aspects, making research and development links to formal education practice, policy and out-of-school settings. For this position, we seek a researcher–educator who uses computing or information science to address issues of learning and education, particularly from a systems viewpoint. This person would join a small, collaborative core of current faculty who have expertise in artificial intelligence applied to learning and reasoning, computational linguistics, knowledge representation, natural language learning, and spoken language dialogues. Exemplary specialties could include, among others, the use of big data in educational improvement, AI in education, technology-enhanced learning, natural language applications for education, personalized learning, and computational thinking and education. While all candidates with relevant experience will be considered, we are particularly interested in individuals at the advanced Assistant or Associate Professor levels, who have an established research program in an area related to learning and education.
