This position is designated to candidates who self-identify as women or gender equity-seeking persons with a disability. The Tier 2 CRC in Artificial Intelligence and Healthy Aging will be a probationary tenure-track or tenured position at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor (commensurate with experience) jointly appointed to the Faculties of Computer Science and Health, with an anticipated start date of July 1, 2025. The successful candidate will have demonstrated potential and capacity to develop and lead an internationally recognized research program that develops new machine-learning techniques and applies them to health and healthcare-related fields focusing on healthy aging.

The position provides an opportunity to take a data-driven approach to improve care delivery and enhance experiences in long-term care and for older adults.

The successful candidate will engage in research leadership and promote interdisciplinary scholarship, aiming to create new opportunities at the intersection of computer science and health.
