[Job-offers-cs] Tenured or Tenure-Track Faculty Position, Fall 2026 – Scientific Machine Learning and AI for Science, UT Austin

[Pekka Orponen]

The *Oden Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences* and the 
*Departments of Computer Science and Mathematics* in the College of 
Natural Sciences at *The University of Texas at Austin* have an opening 
for a tenured or tenure-track faculty position beginning Fall 2026 in 
the area of *Scientific Machine Learning and AI for **Science*. We seek 
candidates working on the mathematical and computational foundations of 
Scientific Machine Learning in a broad sense. Particular areas of 
interest include, but are not limited to, development and analysis of 
machine learning models for scientific computing, theory and algorithms 
for sampling, computational techniques for high-dimensional problems and 
inverse problems, generative AI applied to scientific problems, and 
large-scale nonconvex optimization methods used in machine learning. 
This search is being conducted jointly by the Oden Institute and the 
College of Natural Sciences as part of a campus-wide commitment to 
expanding the development of AI for Science and Scientific Machine 
Learning at UT Austin. The successful candidate will be appointed in one 
of two potential home departments -- the Department of Computer Science 
or the Department of Mathematics -- based on their area of academic 
expertise and research interests.  The successful candidate will have 
half of their teaching duties in the Oden Institute's Computational 
Science, Engineering and Mathematics (CSEM) graduate program and half in 
the Department. This position is open to applicants at all ranks, with a 
strong preference for hiring at the assistant professor level.
For more information and to submit an application, visit 
https://apply.interfolio.com/174445 .  Review of applications will begin

identified. We anticipate virtual interviews in December and in-person 
campus interviews in early 2026. Please address questions to Professors 
Bjorn Engquist and Keshav Pingali, ML/AI Faculty Search Committee 
Co-Chairs (engquist at oden.utexas.edu, pingali at oden.utexas.edu). For 
application questions, contact Ruth Park (ruth.park at oden.utexas.edu).
