iSAT Student Web UI Developer

Web UI Developer (Part time, 15-20 hours per week)

Job Summary

We are inviting applications for a part-time Web UI Developer to support a National Artificial Intelligence (AI) Institute. Funded by the National Science Foundation, The Institute for Student-AI Teaming (http://isat.ai) brings together a geographically distributed team of researchers from nine Universities with partners from academia, K-12 school districts, and industry to address the central challenge of how to promote deep conceptual learning via rich socio-collaborative learning experiences for all students. This part time position will work closely with the Institute’s technical team and researchers to develop and test web-based user interfaces that will be used by researchers and middle school students and teachers to support state-of-the-art natural language processing and multimodal machine learning research. This position provides exciting opportunities to interact with an interdisciplinary team of leading scientists and educators, and instill efficient and collaborative mechanisms for team-based science that has national impact. Areas of focus include Web UI development, working with REST APIs and microservices, and deployment to AWS cloud.

Who We Are

The Institute for Student-AI Teaming founded by National Science Foundation (NSF), will develop, deploy, and study AI Partners that interact naturally with students and teachers through speech, gesture, gaze, and facial expression in real-world classrooms and remote learning settings. The AI partners will be designed in close collaboration with educators with the aim of supporting students to develop STEM competencies, disciplinary practices, and 21st century skills. The long-term impact on the Institute is to help realize the grand challenge of “Education for All.” The Institute will accomplish this goal by leading the nation towards a future where all students—especially those whose identities are underrepresented in STEM—routinely participate in rich and rewarding AI-enabled collaborative learning experiences that scale, resulting in deeper student engagement and persistence in STEM, more inclusive classroom cultures, and significant improvements in learning outcomes.

The Institute for Student-AI Teaming is hosted and supported by the Institute of Cognitive Science (ICS) at CU-Boulder. Founded in 1968, the mission of ICS is to understand and enhance human cognition, learning, and development through the creation of interdisciplinary partnerships. ICS fosters rich scientific interchange across researchers from a broad range of disciplines, including Artificial Intelligence, Linguistics, Psychology, Neuroscience, Computer Science, Philosophy, and Education. ICS also specializes in incubating cutting edge, state-of-the-art R&D centers.
