Our Initiatives
Faculty Recruitment/Domain Hiring
- Faculty can be at any rank (Instructor to Professor).
- Research interests in AI/ML domain that intersects with health equity.
- An established portfolio of research grants or potential for future funding.
- Single investigators or research teams are welcome under this hiring initiative.
Postdoctoral Scholar positions
Every year, the AI.HealthAll Center offers UIC College of Medicine Faculty funding for Postdoctoral Scholar positions focused on the fields of Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning to Promote Health Equity. Units are expected to provide the infrastructure to support these scholars and their research. Appointments will be for a 2-year period to support salary & benefits (at NIH-defined levels) for a two-year postdoctoral fellow in their Department. The Request for Application is issued each summer.College of Medicine Departments will:
- Identify the candidates for these positions.
- Provide discipline or clinical mentorship.
- Cover non-salary costs and infrastructure for the research
The AI.Health4All Center will:
- Cover all salary costs for these appointments (at NIH-defined levels).
- Provide mentorship and support for these postdocs in the case that the department lacks technical or research experts.
- Prove support for K award development and applications.
