3 Postdoctoral Fellowships, Harvard University, U.S.A. (2018)

The Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and the Department of Statistics seeks applicants for three prestigious postdoctoral fellow programs in Computer Science, Computational Science, and Data Science.

Center for Research on Computation and Society (CRCS)

The Harvard Center for Research on Computation and Society (CRCS) solicits applications for its Postdoctoral Fellows and Visiting Scholars Programs for the 2018-2019 academic year. CRCS provides Postdoctoral Fellows with an annual salary plus travel and research funding to allow Fellows to engage in independent research. Fellows typically spend between one to three years at CRCS. Visiting Scholars ordinarily bring their own support, but CRCS occasionally offers supplemental funding.

We seek researchers enthusiastic to interact with computer scientists and colleagues from other disciplines and who have a demonstrated interest in connecting their research agenda with societal issues. We currently have activities in the following areas:
– Digital Economy (Chen, Parkes, Singer)
– Healthcare Technology (Gajos, Grosz, Kuindersma, Seltzer)
– Privacy, Security, and Secure Systems (Calmon, Chong, Dwork, Mickens, Vadhan)
– Social Computing for Societal Problems (Chen, Na Li, Parkes, Waldo)
– Fairness in Machine Learning (Calmon, Dwork, Seltzer, Zittrain)
– Scientific Preservation and Reproducibility (Doshi-Velez, Dwork, Seltzer)
– Network Science (Mitzenmacher, Singer)
– Text Analysis (Shieber)
– Citizen Science (Gajos, Sweeney)
– Ethics and Governance of Artificial Intelligence (Dwork, Seltzer, Shieber, Zittrain)

The ideal researcher will have a technical background in an area related to computer science and a desire to creatively use those skills to address problems of societal importance. CRCS is a highly collaborative environment, and we expect Fellows and Scholars to engage with researchers both inside and outside of computer science. CRCS research has led to important artifacts such as the Helios Voting System and the tools being constructed in the Privacy Tools Project.
