        <span style="font-family: -apple-system; font-size: 14px;">The
          Institute for Artificial Intelligence and Fundamental
          Interactions (IAIFI) is one of the inaugural NSF AI research
          institutes. The IAIFI is enabling physics discoveries and
          advancing foundational AI through the development of novel AI
          approaches that incorporate first principles, best practices,
          and domain knowledge from fundamental physics. AI is
          transforming many aspects of society, including the ways that
          scientists are pursuing groundbreaking discoveries. </span><br
          style="font-family: -apple-system; font-size: 14px;">
        <br style="font-family: -apple-system; font-size: 14px;">
        <span style="font-family: -apple-system; font-size: 14px;">To
          facilitate these advances, the IAIFI seeks a talented,
          promising, and diverse group of researchers at an early stage
          of their careers to join the IAIFI Fellowship program. The
          role of an IAIFI Fellow is to spark vital interdisciplinary,
          multi-investigator, multi-subfield collaborations across the
          primary IAIFI thrusts of theoretical physics, experimental
          physics, and foundational AI. Such collaborations have immense
          power to generate new ideas and approaches in both physics and
          AI, to facilitate abstracting physics challenges beyond their
          native domains to inform the development of cutting-edge AI
          tools, and to instill a common language across disciplines.
          Our program aims to appoint three new postdoctoral IAIFI
          Fellows each academic year, for a three-year fellowship term
          each. Fellows will be selected through an annual application
          process. Applicants should have, or be expected to receive by
          the 1st of September 2023, a PhD in Physics, Statistics,
          Computer Science, or a related field. </span><br

          Fellows will have substantial freedom in choosing their

          from Physics and one from AI – to guide their choice of
          research topic and evaluate their research progress. The IAIFI
          is committed to building a culturally diverse intellectual
          community, and strongly encourages applications from members
          of historically marginalized groups. Any inquiries about the
