Postdoctoral Fellows
We seek postdoctoral fellows interested in conducting high-impact research in urban AI, computational design, spatial analytics, and data-driven planning with experience in quantitative methods and implementation.
About this position
- Develop a research agenda around a real planning and design problem
- Build methods or tools and validate them empirically
- Work with real-world data and, in many cases, partner feedback loops
- Publish high-quality journal and conference papers
- Contribute to lab infrastructure when relevant (datasets, benchmarks, tools)
- Fully funded project-based positions
What We Do
AAIRL focuses on concrete problems in urban design and planning where AI can augment human capabilities. Our core research directions include:
- Human-AI interaction in design
- Generative architectural and urban design
