Position Description
The Oden Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences and the Department of Statistics and Data Science at The University of Texas at Austin have an opening for a tenured or tenure-track faculty position beginning Fall 2026 in the area of Scientific Machine Learning and AI for Science. We are seeking candidates who address challenging scientific and technological problems through advances in statistical and mathematical AI and ML theory and algorithms. Examples of topics of interest include: statistically-principled methods for uncertainty quantification; operator learning and learned surrogates with clear statistical validation; Bayesian inverse problems and data assimilation via measure transport and amortized inference; robustness and distribution shift in scientific ML; causal inference for mechanistic systems; and sequential experimental design and control (including reinforcement learning) under uncertainty. These topics are meant as illustrations, and not as an exhaustive list. This search is being conducted jointly by the Oden Institute and the Department of Statistics and Data Science as part of a campus-wide commitment to expanding the development of AI for Science and Scientific Machine Learning at UT Austin. The successful candidate will have half of their teaching duties in the Oden Institute’s Computational Science, Engineering and Mathematics (CSEM) graduate program and half in the Department of Statistics and Data Science. This position is open to applicants at all ranks, with a preference for hiring at the assistant or associate professor level.
