IAIFI Fellow
IAIFI
Deadline: 2023-10-10 | Apply
Details
The Institute for Artificial Intelligence and Fundamental Interactions (IAIFI, pronounced /aɪ-faɪ/) is one of the inaugural NSF AI research institutes. The IAIFI is enabling physics discoveries and advancing foundational AI through the development of novel AI approaches that incorporate first principles, best practices, and domain knowledge from fundamental physics. AI is transforming many aspects of society, including the ways that scientists are pursuing groundbreaking discoveries. To facilitate these advances, the IAIFI seeks a talented, promising, and diverse 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 the primary IAIFI thrusts of theoretical physics, experimental physics, 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 three new postdoctoral IAIFI Fellows each academic year, for a three-year fellowship term each. Fellows will be selected through an annual application process. Applicants should have, or be expected to receive by the 1st of September 2024, a PhD in Physics, Statistics, Computer Science, or a related field.Graduate Student Opportunities

Horizon Europa
Deadline: 2023-10-29 | Apply
Details
The new Horizon Europa project ASAP aims at developing artificial intelligence (AI) tools that can be deployed in space missions of exploration. This means developing and using algorithms that can be run on the type of processors that can be used in space. Space is a hostile radiation environment and the types of computing units (e.g. GPUs) that are used for AI on Earth cannot sustain the radiation exposure. In space, special processors must be used, capable to survive the space radiation. These processors are less powerful, and the complex algorithms of AI need to be adapted so that they can function in space. ASAP is primarily a method development project that wants to develop such algorithms and demonstrate their use on the same type of processors that can be used in space. ASAP will choose a few important physical applications such as analysis of time series and velocity or energy distributions to extract physics insight. The final goal is to make AI tools that can decide the importance of the data measured and extract its physics without having human intervention and without having to first transmit the data to the Earth. This is a critical need for future missions of exploration to other planets and deep space where the communication with Earth will be slow and intermittent.Postdoctoral Fellowship
