Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in Qatar invites applications for multiple teaching-track faculty positions in AI, starting in Fall 2025. The appointments are at the rank of assistant teaching professor, but candidates with substantial teaching experience and significant research impacts may be considered for higher levels.
The positions involve a reasonable teaching load, thus providing candidates with the opportunity to actively conduct research and engage in a range of academic activities, including student advising, outreach, curriculum development, and experimentation with new teaching methodologies, among others.
Funds are available from CMU and national agencies to support research agendas. As such, candidates are encouraged to apply for research grants, recruit students and postdocs, and lead high-quality research projects.
These positions are based at CMU’s branch campus in Doha, Qatar and offer competitive salaries, seed funds for research, attractive professional development support, excellent international health care coverage, and allowances for housing, travel, and schooling, if eligible, alongside other benefits. The successful candidates will be encouraged to spend one semester in the main campus in Pittsburgh, USA at the beginning of their appointments. Subsequent visits to the main campus for collaborations are incentivized and supported.
