We're seeking postdoctoral applicants from all areas of research related to artificial intelligence, spanning theoretical foundations, systems, software, applications, design, and social impact.

HAI’s Postdoctoral Fellowship Program offers opportunities to explore topics, conduct research, and collaborate across disciplines related to AI technologies, applications, or impact.

Fellows will have the opportunity to contribute to the research goals of the faculty/lab/center/research team they will join, in addition to advancing their own scholarship and research skills. In the spirit of cross-disciplinary collaboration and community building, fellows will also be required to engage in HAI programming to develop the skills necessary to further their research, careers, and the mission of HAI: advancing AI research, education, policy, and practice to improve the human condition.

HAI is particularly interested in applicants doing research at the frontiers of artificial intelligence with other disciplines, including but not limited to the humanities, business, education, law, medicine, and physical and social sciences.

Apply now for postdoctoral opportunities. Applications are due on April 3, 2025 by midnight AoE. Selections will be made by May 2025.

Adaptive Stress Testing (AST) For Cybersecurity Challenges, Mykel Kochenderfer

Robot Learning for Manipulation, Jeannette Bohg

Enhancing Learning and Engagement through Game Creation, Hyowon Gweon

Aligning Machine Learning Models with Algorithmic Reasoning Tasks, Ellen Vitercik

The goal of this program is to encourage interdisciplinary research conversations, facilitate new collaborations, and grow the HAI community of graduate scholars who are working in the area of AI, broadly defined.

HAI offers a 3-quarter program for Stanford Graduate Students. The fellowship fosters collaboration between engineers, social scientists, humanists, and others researching the future of purposeful, intentional, and human-centered AI.

HAI seeks graduate students who are well-rounded across disciplines.

The graduate fellows will: 

  • Participate in mandatory bi-weekly seminars with HAI Affiliated Faculty, guest speakers, HAI postdocs, and fellow cohort members. 

  • Participate in events with other HAI Fellows (i.e., paper/proposal workshops, practice job talks, training opportunities, and socials). 

  • Contribute to a final group project (i.e., poster session, blog post, student-led event) 

  • Be located on campus for all 3 quarters during AY 2024-2025 (fall, winter, spring) 

The fellowship will pay $1,000 per quarter.

Applications for the 2025-2026 academic year will open in March 2025.

DEL is currently seeking Postdoctoral Fellows. Positions focus on key topic areas related to the digital economy. Each hire will have a priority project, led by Professor Erik Brynjolfsson, as well as the opportunity to work with other Stanford faculty and PIs on additional topics. Priority projects will be shaped based on shared interests, available data, and alignment with DEL’s research priorities.

Stanford Embedded Ethics is a collaborative program that embeds the teaching of ethics directly into the core undergraduate courses of Stanford’s computer science curriculum. Working in collaboration with CS faculty and graduate students, fellows create curricular materials, course assignments, and teach ethics modules in CS courses. The fellows also participate in the intellectual life of the McCoy Family Center for Ethics in Society and Stanford HAI.

See Application Process

HAI and the McCoy Family Center for Ethics in Society are offering a 9-10 week fellowship for Stanford undergraduate and graduate students to engage in the technology ethics and policy field as it intersects with public policy and social impact.
