[博士后]波士顿大学招收Generative AI in Business方向博士后

波士顿大学Digital Business Institute 与Computing and Data Sciences联合招收一名博士后研究员，方向为Applications and Consequences of Generative AI in Business。请有意申请的同学阅读以下说明：

The Digital Business Institute (DBI) in conjunction with Computing and Data Sciences at Boston University is looking for a postdoctoral researcher to study the applications and consequences of generative AI in business. The anticipated start date for this position is flexible: any time between Jan-June 2023.

Project Description
Generative algorithms are increasingly penetrating different aspects of business. Examples include the use of neural language models to synthesize website content for the purposes of search engine optimization, the synthesis of personalized product reviews, and the application of GANs, VAEs, Diffusion models to augment the creative design process. Due to the complex and black box nature of many algorithms, and the lack of empirical studies on field usage, several questions are beginning to emerge, including but not limited to: what are the potential preference-shifting impacts of these technologies on consumers? What are the long-term impacts of these technologies on platforms? What sorts of feedback loops and changes in market equilibria might we expect following the broad adoption of generative technologies in different industries? The postdoctoral researcher will drive a research program addressing such questions, employing a variety of methods, including simulation and experimentation. The postdoctoral researcher will also be expected to engage with local industry on these topics.

Qualifications

• PhD in Computer Science, HCI, Statistics, Data Science, Business Analytics, Information Systems Management, or a closely related field.
• Mastery of machine learning, deep learning, neural language models, generative models, such as VAEs, GANs, Flow- based models, diffusion models.
• Solid knowledge of causal inference techniques.
• Experience in the design lab experiments and familiarity with Amazon Mechanical Turk / Prolific.
  

Position Details & How to Apply
The contract for this position will be for a period of 1 year with flexible starting date with a possibility of 1-2 year extension, based on available funding. Interested candidates are encouraged to send application materials to Dokyun “DK” Lee (dokyun@bu.edu) and Gordon Burtch (gburtch@bu.edu). Please include the following:

• Cover letter stating interest and qualifications
• CV
• One example of research or code related to generative algorithmsApplications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled. Anticipated salary will be in the range of $55,000 to $60,000.
  

Responsibilities
Undertaking research as described above, with an intention to publish in top business journals and CS conferences. Additionally, equal importance will be assigned to grant proposal writing, sponsored funding, and data acquisition from corporate partners. The postdoctoral scholar will closely work with Dokyun Lee, Gordon Burtch, and Peter Howard (Executive Director of DBI - pjhoward@bu.edu) in this position.
