Cbi Computer Science Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Carnegie Mellon University is a private, global research university that stands among the world's most renowned education institutions. With ground-breaking brain science, path-breaking performances, creative start-ups, big data, big ambitions, hands-on learning, and a whole lot of robots, CMU doesn't imagine the future, we invent it. If you're passionate about joining a community that challenges the curious to deliver work that matters, your journey starts here!

Applications are invited for the Carnegie Bosch Postdoctoral Fellowship for the Fall Semester of 2026 in the areas of artificial intelligence, cybersecurity/privacy, robotics, and sustainability. Fellowships are sponsored by the Carnegie Bosch Institute (CBI), a world-class research center located within CMU. Applications are sought from candidates together with prospective faculty hosts.

Carnegie Bosch Fellowships are two-year awards supporting outstanding postdoctoral researchers conducting high-potential research within the excellence-driven environment of CMU. Offering benefits beyond 'traditional' postdoc roles, Fellows are provided with the resources, flexibility, and environment to address "grand challenge" style problems in line with their research vision together with their faculty host.

Postdoctoral positions supported by CBI provide remarkable opportunities to shape the next generation of research while offering Fellows the chance to develop their academic careers in exceptional directions. Fellowship recipients are expected to broadly disseminate their research results via active engagement with the international research community in their respective fields and will be provided resources to aid with these efforts, e.g. conference registration + travel.
