Applications are invited for the first cohort of Carnegie Bosch Postdoctoral Fellows for the Fall Semester of 2023 in the areas of artificial intelligence and cybersecurity / privacy. Fellowships are sponsored by the Carnegie Bosch Institute (CBI), a world-class research center located within Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in Pittsburgh, PA USA.  Applications are sought from candidates together with prospective faculty hosts.

Carnegie Bosch Fellowships are two-year awards supporting outstanding postdoctoral researchers conducting high-potential research within the excellence-driven environment of CMU. Offering benefits beyond ‘traditional’ postdoc roles, Fellows are provided with the resources, flexibility, and environment to address “grand challenge” style problems in line with their research vision together with their faculty host. Postdoctoral positions supported by CBI provide remarkable opportunities to shape the next generation of research while offering Fellows the chance to develop their academic careers in exceptional directions. Fellowship recipients are expected to broadly disseminate their research results via active engagement with the international research community in their respective fields and will be provided resources to aid with these efforts, e.g., conference registration + travel.

Carnegie Bosch Fellowships are intended to support researchers working in the fields of (1) artificial intelligence and (2) cybersecurity/privacy. A broad range of research interests within these two areas will be considered from theory to application, with preference being given to applicants with strong Research Statements (as indicated in the Application Requirements below) demonstrating compelling future vision (including potential follow-on opportunities), collaborative approach (connection to/ building on efforts already underway), broader positive societal impact (e.g., sustainability).

Carnegie Bosch Fellows are matched with world-class faculty at CMU that will serve as their primary hosts during the Fellowship. The list of potential faculty hosts across research areas can be found here and Fellowship applicants are invited to discuss potential collaboration opportunities/interests in advance of application submission.

Qualifications:

• Doctorate degree completion at the time of fellowship commencement
• Strong verbal and written communication skills.
• Demonstrated ability to write results for publication in the scientific literature.
• Ability to plan and facilitate research related events
• Strong analytical skills.
• Ability to mentor students.
• Proficiency to conduct research in the areas specified by the host 

Application Requirements:

• Cover Letter
• Curriculum Vitae
• Research Statement (maximum three pages), outlining a compelling long-term vision for a research program whose development would be supported by participation in the CBI Fellowship Program: How will you use the time and resources provided by your Fellowship to advance this vision? How will you take advantage of collaboration opportunities at CMU (and beyond)? What will be the eventual impact of this research beyond the core technical results?
• Professional References (maximum three)
• Letter of Support (maximum one page) from prospective faculty collaboration host at CMU

Inclusion and cultural sensitivity are valued competencies at CMU. Therefore, we are in search of a team member who can effectively interact with a varied population of diverse audiences. We are looking for someone who shares our values and who will support the mission of the university through their work.

This is a great opportunity for someone to work in a creative, dedicated, driven team, in a collaborative environment committed to technical innovation, inclusion, and work-life balance.
