Binghamton University seeks a Research Assistant Professor to launch a new Artificial Intelligence & Society research stream within the nationally recognized First-year Research Immersion Program (FRI) beginning in the 2026–2027 academic year.
FRI faculty integrate research, teaching, and undergraduate mentorship, leading a cohort of ~30 students through a three-course sequence focused on research methods and team-based investigation.
The AI & Society stream will explore how AI shapes—and is shaped by—human systems. We welcome applicants from all disciplines, especially social science, psychology, education, policy, and related fields studying the societal impacts of AI, bias and ethics in AI systems, human–AI interaction, or applications of AI in social contexts.
The successful candidate will develop their own research agenda while leading undergraduate research teams and collaborating with faculty partners and emerging AI initiatives at Binghamton.
PhD required prior to start.
The position is formally advertised at Binghamton University’s Interview Exchange:
