We continue to produce versatile alumni and draw faculty and staff eager to be a part of the university’s creative, dedicated and close-knit community. We place emphasis on practical problem solving, interdisciplinary learning, a transformative spirit, and collaboration

Our world-class faculty and students work across areas to investigate and solve real-world problems.

The Print & Probability project (https://printprobability.org/) seeks a Postdoctoral Research Associate to develop AI methods for identifying printers of anonymous early modern books (1450-1800). Building on successful prior work that's identified clandestine printers of famous works such as Milton's Areopagitica, Hobbes' Leviathan, Locke's Two Treatises and Spinoza's Theological-Political Treatise, this Schmidt Sciences-funded phase integrates large language models with computer vision to systematically uncover hidden networks of controversial printing during censorship.

Core responsibilities include:

• Develop LLM-driven knowledge graphs that construct probabilistic historical priors from bibliographic records, trial transcripts, censorship lists, and apprenticeship data

• Design agentic frameworks using In-Context Learning and Chain-of-Thought prompting for transparent historical inference

• Develop Historical Hypotheses in collaboration with (other) expert humanists and book historians

• Integrate top-down LLM hypotheses with established bottom-up vision pipeline (existing: dhSegment/Eynollah line extraction, damage detection models, 280M+ character image database)

• Assist in original research on clandestine printing networks using computational tools

• Contribute to publications in both AI and humanities venues (machine learning conferences and book history journals)

• Contribute to open-source tools and datasets for the research community

• Other duties as assigned

Adaptability, excellence, and passion are vital qualities within Carnegie Mellon University. We are in search of a team member who can effectively interact with a varied population of internal and external partners at a high level of integrity. We are looking for someone who shares our values and who will support the mission of the university through their work.

Qualifications:

• PhD in Computer Science, Computational Linguistics, Digital Humanities, Computational Cultural Studies, History, or related field required

• Demonstrated expertise with large language models (fine-tuning, prompting, deployment)

• Strong Python programming with deep learning frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow)

• Experience with unstructured historical data (text extraction, entity resolution, knowledge graphs)

• Excellent communication skills and commitment to interdisciplinary collaboration

• Evidence of scholarly productivity (publications, presentations, software)

• A combination of education and relevant experience from which comparable knowledge is demonstrated may be considered.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Knowledge of early modern European history (1450-1800) or book history

• Experience with historical bibliography or archival research

• Familiarity with computer vision for document analysis

• Multilingual reading ability (e.g., English, Latin, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch)

• Publication record in digital humanities or computational social science
