*Computer Vision Specialist (AI)*

*Assistant University Librarian or Associate University Librarian*

*University of Florida*

*George A Smathers Libraries*



The George A. Smathers Libraries seek a creative, collaborative, and
service-oriented candidate to enhance computer vision research services to
strategically increase support of the university’s AI initiative
(*https://ai.ufl.edu/
<https://ai.ufl.edu/>*) and to further the Libraries’ commitment to “AI for
everyone.” In conjunction and close collaboration with the Natural Language
Processing Specialist and other personnel from across the libraries, this
position provides leadership to the Libraries’ efforts to build
foundational AI services for all UF students, faculty, and staff interested
in incorporating AI technology and techniques in their discipline-specific
teaching and research.



The Computer Vision Specialist is a year-round (12 month) tenure-track
faculty position with primary responsibilities in instruction,
consultation, and project work in computer vision and other areas relevant
to artificial intelligence and data science. The position works with
library colleagues, researchers, and educators from throughout the
University of Florida community to create, identify, and evaluate learning
resources and services in the areas of computer vision; works with students
and researchers at all stages of their careers to advise and consult on
effective use of related tools and methodologies; advocates for the role of
the Smathers Libraries in supporting related education and research; and
builds effective, inclusive collaborations across the campus community. As
a member of the Academic Research Consulting and Services (ARCS)
department, the Computer Vision Specialist synergizes with existing ARCS
specialists who provide expertise in natural language processing, data
science and statistical analysis, data management, reproducibility,
systematic reviews, scholarly communication, research impact, and related
areas (http://arcs.uflib.ufl.edu/). The Computer Vision Specialist will
pursue professional development opportunities, including research,
publication, and professional service activities to meet criteria for
tenure and promotion.
