The Khoury College of Computer Sciences at Northeastern University is offering a prestigious Distinguished Postdoctoral Fellowship, with a high-priority focus on Embodied AI and related areas in computer science. This unique two-year fellowship provides early-career researchers with exceptional research independence, the opportunity to work with one or more faculty mentors, and the flexibility to pursue their own research interests within a vibrant, interdisciplinary environment. Fellows will benefit from discretionary funding for travel and research expenses, as well as compensation that exceeds typical postdoctoral levels.

Khoury College is recognized as a leader in computer science education and research, with a strong commitment to diversity, collaboration, and innovation. The college is home to over 60 combined undergraduate majors, 17 master’s programs, and a global network of campuses. Research at Khoury spans a wide range of topics, including artificial intelligence, robotics, and interdisciplinary applications of computing. The college’s state-of-the-art facilities and supportive community provide an ideal environment for postdoctoral researchers to launch their independent academic careers.

Applicants must have completed a PhD in computer science or a closely related field and should demonstrate a strong research background, particularly in areas such as embodied AI. The fellowship is fully funded by the college, not reliant on external grants, and is designed to prepare fellows for future tenure-track positions. The application deadline is March 10, 2026, and candidates are encouraged to submit all required materials, including reference letters, by this date for full consideration.
