"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 to empower faculty to grow as research educators, leaders, mentors, and higher education professionals.

"This Research Educator will launch the new research stream entitled 'Artificial Intelligence and Society.' We seek candidates whose research applies or analyzes artificial intelligence (AI) in ways that address real-world social, cultural, ethical, or economic challenges. The position is open to candidates from diverse academic backgrounds, provided they have a foundation in AI or computational methods, and an interest in examining AI's broader societal impacts or leveraging AI to address societal challenges. Candidates must have completed a terminal degree (Ph.D. or equivalent) by August 18, 2026.

"Depending on the Research Educator's expertise, the stream may investigate topics such as:

• Using AI and machine learning to understand or address social challenges (e.g., health disparities, misinformation, sustainability)
• Evaluating the ethical, psychological, or cultural implications of AI applications
• Measuring the economic or sociological impact of AI integration
• Identifying, assessing, and mitigating bias in AI systems
• Exploring how governance, policy, and public perception influence the development and deployment of AI

"We envision a multidisciplinary approach that draws on both technical AI skills and relevant domain expertise to use, inform, or develop AI systems for the public good."
