Description
Introduction of School (located in Shenzhen, China)
The School of Artificial Intelligence (SAI) of The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen (CUHK-Shenzhen) was founded on February 13, 2025. (https://sai.cuhk.edu.cn/)
The School is committed to addressing the critical national strategic needs and advancing the international frontiers in artificial intelligence. Rooted in the strategic development plan of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and leveraging the industrial strengths of the vibrant Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, the School builds on the solid academic foundation of The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen to advance AI foundations and technologies. With a strong emphasis on internationalization, the School aims to create an interdisciplinary and innovative learning environment that equips students with a solid foundation in computer science, mathematics, statistics, and cognitive science, enabling them to fully grasp the principles and applications of AI.
The School strives to elevate China’s teaching and research capabilities in AI through a series of systematic, original breakthroughs with significant international impact. It aims to nurture top-tier professionals and interdisciplinary talents for the nation, the Greater Bay Area, and Shenzhen, providing a continuous supply of talent and research support for the sustainable development of the AI industry.
As a newly established school, SAI at CUHK-Shenzhen is pleased to invite applications for multiple full-time faculty positions at all academic ranks. We welcome candidates with expertise in, but not limited to, the following areas:
- Natural Language Processing (NLP): Large language models (LLMs), sentiment analysis, multilingual AI, and generative AI.
- Machine Learning and AI Foundations: Reinforcement learning, transfer learning, representation learning, trustworthy/explainable AI, and computational cognitive science.
