Job openings at the University of Southern California's Information Sciences Institute (ISI) in Artificial Intelligence

Dedicated to research and education in computer science and information technology, ISI is home to more than one hundred researchers and PhD students in Artificial Intelligence.

ISI is located off campus in Marina del Rey, a casual boating town connected by a bike path with residential coastal cities from Santa Monica to Redondo Beach. ISI is part of the USC School of Engineering. A number of ISI researchers are also Research Faculty in the Department of Computer Science at USC, and advise graduate students on directed research projects and dissertations. Many PhD students at USC complete their degrees while working as research assistants on ISI projects.

AI research at ISI spans intelligent agents, natural language, tutoring, knowledge systems, planning, knowledge capture, and web intelligence. ISI is looking for people in all these areas as well as other areas that may grow our research activities into new directions, to fill the following kinds of positions:

• Research Scientists: senior PhDs as well as junior PhDs that are committed to long-term research careers and enjoy collaborative and challenging projects.
• Research Programmers: researchers that enjoy system development and integration in diverse collaborative research groups. These positions are best suited to candidates with MSc and possibly BS degrees.
• Visiting Researchers: these positions are open to researchers with possibilities to take a leave from their home institution to collaborate with researchers at ISI.
• Summer Internships: these paid internships are available every summer to outstanding graduate, undergraduate, and high school students that want to get involved with research.
