Purdue University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Scholar to join a Sloan Foundation-funded research project led by Prof. Eamon Duede. The project investigates how the rapid emergence of artificial intelligence (particularly large language models) is reshaping epistemic norms and practices across the sciences. This is a one-year FY position beginning August 2026 to August 2027. Unlike previous domain-specific technologies, contemporary AI systems are domain-general, capable of participating in nearly every stage of inquiry. This project aims to provide conceptual and empirical clarity on how these systems influence the standards of justification, proof, problem selection, and collaboration that shape the life of scientific disciplines. One core empirical focus will be on formal mathematics and the Lean open-source mathematics community, which offers rich, structured data for studying norm evolution in real time. Comparative work across disciplines will complement these analyses. This postdoc will have the opportunity to work at the intersection of Science, Philosophy of Science, STS, and AI as part of an interdisciplinary team spanning Purdue University and Argonne National Laboratory, with collaborations at Frontier AI labs, Carnegie Mellon, the University of Chicago, Duke University, Princeton University, and others. The successful candidate will play a central role in advancing empirical and conceptual understanding of how emerging AI systems reshape the epistemic norms and practices of scientific inquiry. This position provides close mentorship, collaboration with leading research groups, opportunities for travel to workshops and conferences, and a strong platform for launching an independent academic career focused on AI and the future of scientific practice. Responsibilities * Build and maintain computational data pipelines to collect and structure evidence from scientific communities (e.g., GitHub repositories, communication forums, project documentation). * Drive analysis of evolving epistemic practices, including proof and justification styles, problem selection, and collaboration norms as AI tools are integrated into research workflows. * Construct and analyze dependency and contribution networks to identify structural changes in inquiry. * Combine quantitative analyses (e.g., network and hypergraph models) with qualitative discourse analysis to link community debates to observed behavioral changes. * Co-author and present scholarly publications and collaborate with external partners. Education Required Qualifications * PhD in one of the Computational Social Sciences, Science of Science, Science and Technology Studies, Philosophy of Science, Sociology of Science, Mathematics, Computer Science, or a closely related field. * Demonstrated computational expertise (e.g., Python, network analysis, data wrangling). * A research profile that engages with questions at the intersection of AI, scientific practice, and epistemology. * Excellent writing and communication skills. Preferred Qualifications * Experience with formal or computational representations of scientific reasoning (e.g., proof assistants, simulation frameworks, structured data environments). * Familiarity with Lean or other formal mathematics platforms. * Experience with temporal network analysis or hypergraph modeling. * Background in interdisciplinary research teams. Application Instructions Please submit: : * A cover letter describing your research interests and fit for the project. * Curriculum vitae. * One or two writing samples (published or in-progress). * Names and contact information for 2-3 references. Applcations will be reviewed on a rolling basis beginning February 15, 2026. For full consideration, apply by February 23, 2026. A background check is required for employment in this position.

Research Scientist for Indiana University Cognitive Development Lab The Cognitive Development Lab at Indiana University-Bloomington (PI: Linda Smith) invites applications for a Research Scientist to assist in the creation and analysis of a shareable data set (of already collected data) from nearly 10,000 children ages 15 to 36 months. There is both a scientific premise and a methodological premise underlying the project. The scientific premise is that developmental changes in visual cognition and early vocabulary development interact, with advances in visual cognition supporting early language learning and also being changed by language learning. The literature indicates multiple causal factors and inflection points that can disrupt this early stage of vocabulary growth- limitations in audition, or vision, in phonological representations, in visual attention, in the composition of early vocabularies, and in the quality and composition of language input. The methodological premise concerns how to leverage all the data that has been already collected on these issues; experiments with many of the same overlapping measures designed with specific hypotheses in mind. The methodological premise for this project is that given some overlapping measures in the individual data sets and through the use of advanced analytic tools including machine learning and graph theoretics, one can discover multiple developmental pathways in cross-sectional data and the factors that underlie the trajectories of those pathways. These inferred pathways then can be empirically tested in longitudinal studies. Strong applicants will have quantitative and computational training as well as experience in behavioral science, ideally in development, language, or visual cognition. The successful applicant will have: Excellent research track record. Excellent programming skills. Experience in computational and statistical methods and analyses including either graph theoretic of machine learning approaches (or both). A track record of initiative, ability to lead a team (of undergraduates/masters students) and effective teamwork. Fit of this project with their own career trajectory/goals PhD in Psychology or related field How to Apply: Interested candidates should apply at ********************************************** by submitting a cover letter describing your interests and prior experiences, CV, and contact information for three references.

Questions regarding the position or application process can be directed to: Dr. Linda Smith ( ************* ).

The successful candidate will assist the professor and lab members with ongoing research activities. This position is responsible for maintaining a large mouse colony, including weaning, genotyping, and record keeping. Additional duties include supporting mouse experiments through procedures, health monitoring, and necropsy, as well as assisting in the evaluation of experimental results using techniques such as qPCR, western blotting, and tissue staining and image analysis.
