Data Scientist III

The Tufts Institute for AI (TIAI) is a new university-wide, interdisciplinary center dedicated to AI and data-intensive research and pedagogy, studying the science of AI and its use in application domains that span the breadth of the university. The center will build on existing strengths at Tufts. TIAI will also create a collaborative, application-driven environment that simultaneously fosters the development of new methods for extracting meaning from data and the application of those methods to a host of domain areas relevant to Tufts. Lastly, TIAI will provide a university-wide forum for identifying strategic opportunities best addressed by combining expertise in the science of AI and application domains.
