- POSITION ANNOUNCEMENT: Postdoctoral Fellowship Opportunity in AI and Ethics at Purdue University
The School of Engineering Education and Department of Computer Information Technology at Purdue seek a postdoctoral fellow to study how undergraduate students develop self-regulated learning skills to: a) apply AI algorithms for computers to learn from data, and b) prevent potential biases in the data used to train AI algorithms, among other ethical considerations. Data collection and analysis for this project will involve mixed-methods approaches, including through use of surveys and interviews to investigate student understandings and perceptions of technical/disciplinary knowledge (e.g., AI algorithms and techniques) and associated social and ethical considerations. One central objective of this research effort is to develop new instructional materials and strategies that improve students’ conceptual understanding of machine learning techniques while also increasing their awareness of how such technologies both shape and are shaped by the social contexts where they are developed and used. The fellow will have opportunities to relate research to instructional practice by helping to pilot and assess educational interventions, while also engaging with the broader policy and outreach dimensions of this research topic through the National Institute for Engineering Ethics (NIEE).
Minimum Qualifications: 1) Ph.D. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Engineering or Computer Education, Learning Sciences, or closely related field, 2) Programming expertise and ability to learn data science and machine learning skills, 3) familiarity or interest in the societal and ethical implications of AI, and 4) strong interest in discipline-based education research.
This co-advisors for this position are Profs. Brent Jesiek (bjesiek@purdue.edu) and Alejandra Magana (admagana@purdue.edu), and the desired start date is Spring 2024 or later. Interested individuals must apply through Purdue’s Gilbreth Fellowship program by Nov. 1, 2023, as detailed here: https://engineering.purdue.edu/Engr/Research/GilbrethFellowships#about
