Research Assistant Professor – Artificial Intelligence and Society

The First-year Research Immersion (FRI) program at Binghamton University invites applications for a three-year renewable, full time Research Assistant Professor (also known as the Research Educator) position, to begin August 2026. This is a unique 10-month non-tenure track faculty position that directly combines teaching and research. This position is for Artificial Intelligence and Society and is open to individuals whose research applies or analyzes artificial intelligence (AI) in ways that address real-world social, cultural, ethical, or economic challenge. Review of applications will begin January 16th, 2026.

Artificial Intelligence and Society is a program in which a Research Educator guides first-year and second-year students in innovative research that advances the field. The Research Educator shapes the research theme, but this new research stream will have the overall theme of exploring how artificial intelligence both transforms and is shaped by human systems.

Research Educators are responsible for guiding first- and second-year student cohorts (~30 per cohort) through authentic research experiences and, in doing so, will help students develop the professional skills desired by graduate schools and employers. Within the high-impact learning environment, and alongside faculty stream collaborators, the Research Educator maintains and/or expands their own research program.
