IAIFI-Adjacent Jobs
The following positions are at IAIFI-affiliated universities and therefore have the potential for IAIFI involvement; they are not necessarily directly hired by IAIFI.
Faculty Opportunities
Postdoc Opportunities
Postdoctoral researchers at any of the partner institutions may collaborate with IAIFI researchers to become a Junior Investigator.
IAIFI Fellow
IAIFI/MIT
Deadline: 2026-10-07 | Apply
Details
To facilitate advances in AI+Physics, the IAIFI seeks a talented and interdisciplinary group of researchers at an early stage of their careers to join the IAIFI Fellowship program. The role of an IAIFI Fellow is to spark vital interdisciplinary, multi-investigator, multi-subfield collaborations across some of the primary IAIFI domains of theoretical physics, experimental physics, astrophysics, and foundational AI. Such collaborations have immense power to generate new ideas and approaches in both physics and AI, to facilitate abstracting physics challenges beyond their native domains to inform the development of cutting-edge AI tools, and to instill a common language across disciplines. Our program aims to appoint new postdoctoral IAIFI Fellows each academic year, for a three-year fellowship term each.Graduate Student Opportunities
IAIFI does not have a dedicated PhD program, but PhD students at any of the partner institutions may collaborate with IAIFI researchers to become a Junior Investigator.
