The Department of Computer Science at Durham University seeks to appoint a talented individual to the role of Assistant Professor. This is a permanent position. We welcome applications from those with interests in the broad field of Artificial Intelligence and Human Systems. Our work covers a spectrum of human-centred AI research.

There are five research strands: Digital Health (Health Informatics), Digital Humanities, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Software Engineering (SE), and Technology-enhanced Learning (TEL). All aim to promote AI for social good. In Digital Health, we research applying AI to improve physical and mental health. Digital Humanities involves cultural studies of technology such as musicology with machine learning and text analysis of ancient history and modern social media. HCI and SE apply established and emerging approaches to different projects involving, for example, mixed reality, self-adaptive and autonomous systems. TEL aims to integrate emerging technologies and data science with pedagogical theories to address educational challenges. In addition, our Bias in AI network explores methods to reduce bias in AI systems and services.

The successful candidate will have the opportunity to strengthen this work, or extend the scope of our AI work to other areas such as Sustainability, Safety, and Space. They will have the opportunity to collaborate with colleagues working in AI and other areas of Computer Science, and with academics across the university on applications of AI.
