Description
Johns Hopkins University seeks to recruit two Bloomberg Distinguished Professors (BDPs) who will lead and collaborate to create a diverse and cohesive AI & Society Cluster.
The joint complexity of artificial intelligence (AI) systems and the societies into which they are integrated demands a multidisciplinary approach. The AI & Society Cluster will include scholars from across the social sciences, engineering and technology, to address key challenges from multiple perspectives, to help ensure the just and equitable integration of AI technology in society. This cluster bridges core strengths of computer sciences, social sciences, and ethics to mitigate risks of injustice and maximize benefits of societal good. They will focus on AI research in areas of strategic opportunity for Johns Hopkins researchers to advance critical subfields and create new tools with an emphasis on improving the human condition.
For these two tenured, endowed professorships, we seek full or associate professors (or equivalent senior positions in government or industry) who are dynamic leaders in their fields and who have disciplinary training and multidisciplinary experience in foundational, application, and policy research, and program building in one or more of the following subfields:
We are especially interested in leaders who have skills in one or more of the above sub-fields and demonstrated ability to lead innovative research and training programs in a multidisciplinary, inter-divisional, collaborative community; to articulate strategic directions and areas of scientific growth for the AI & Society mission; to secure major external grants from federal agencies such as the National Science Foundation and National Institutes of Health; and to work across divisions, including social sciences, humanities, computer science, engineering, public health, and biomedical sciences.
Application Instructions
Applicants should submit a cover letter; a research abstract of maximum one page that also includes elements of equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI); curriculum vitae; and representative publications. A detailed research statement and additional information may be requested later in the process. Questions may be directed to bdpc@isi.jhu.edu . Review of applications will begin in December 2022, and continue until the positions are filled. Appointments will commence as early as July 1, 2023.
Equal Employment Opportunity Statement
The Johns Hopkins University is committed to equal opportunity for its faculty, staff, and students. To that end, the university does not discriminate on the basis of sex, gender, marital status, pregnancy, race, color, ethnicity, national origin, age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, veteran status or other legally protected characteristic. The university is committed to providing qualified individuals access to all academic and employment programs, benefits and activities on the basis of demonstrated ability, performance and merit without regard to personal factors that are irrelevant to the program involved.
The successful candidate(s) for this position will be subject to a pre-employment background check.
If you are interested in applying for employment with The Johns Hopkins University and require special assistance or accommodation during any part of the pre-employment process, please contact the HR Business Services Office at jhurecruitment@jhu.edu. For TTY users, call via Maryland Relay or dial 711.
The following additional provisions may apply depending on which campus you will work. Your recruiter will advise accordingly.
During the Influenza ("the flu") season, as a condition of employment, The Johns Hopkins Institutions require all employees who provide ongoing services to patients or work in patient care or clinical care areas to have an annual influenza vaccination or possess an approved medical or religious exception. Failure to meet this requirement may result in termination of employment.
The pre-employment physical for positions in clinical areas, laboratories, working with research subjects, or involving community contact requires documentation of immune status against Rubella (German measles), Rubeola (Measles), Mumps, Varicella (chickenpox), Hepatitis B and documentation of having received the Tdap (Tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis) vaccination. This may include documentation of having two (2) MMR vaccines; two (2) Varicella vaccines; or antibody status to these diseases from laboratory testing. Blood tests for immunities to these diseases are ordinarily included in the pre-employment physical exam except for those employees who provide results of blood tests or immunization documentation from their own health care providers. Any vaccinations required for these diseases will be given at no cost in our Occupational Health office.
