Research Resources and Context Faculty hired through this search will find substantial resources and collaborators at UT Austin, within the School of Computing, and within the Department. UT Austin has a world-class reputation for AI research and education. The university's online MS in Artificial Intelligence is the largest AI program at any tier-one university, complementing existing online master's programs in computer science and data science. The Center for Generative AI hosts the largest academic GPU cluster in the world and includes one of our faculty members on its team. The Texas Advanced Computing Center provides world-class AI compute resources and received a $457M award from the National Science Foundation to create a new leadership-class computing facility. UT also leads the $20M NSF AI Institute for Foundations of Machine Learning, the $20M NSF-Simons AI Institute for Cosmic Origins, and the $30M NSF Center for Human and Robot Co-Adaptation. All three involve our faculty. Health is among the most active areas of AI work at UT Austin. Dell Medical School launched a new Department of Quantitative and Systems Health Sciences in August 2026, integrating artificial intelligence, data science, and systems-level approaches to advance discovery and health care innovation. Dell Med, the School of Nursing, the School of Social Work, and the College of Pharmacy are all on the same campus, and our faculty collaborate with colleagues across them on consumer health informatics, biomedical data, and the social dimensions of health. Strengthening these connections is a priority for the School of Computing, including through joint appointments. Responsible AI is central to UT Austin's vision for these technologies. Good Systems, the university's campus-wide responsible AI initiative, includes more than 120 researchers across 30 academic units and integrates technology, policy, law, and ethics in the pursuit of societal good. Our faculty have played a prominent role in Good Systems, serving on its leadership team and leading its core research projects. Two of our faculty secured a five-year, $3M NSF Research Traineeship award addressing the integration of responsible and ethical AI throughout the development, design, and deployment of AI technologies, which led to a new cross-campus Graduate Portfolio Program in Ethical AI. Additional work on responsible AI in the Department includes research on AI policy, design, auditing, and data collection and stewardship, including the ethical sourcing of AI training data. The Department's Information eXperience Lab supports research on how people seek, evaluate, and use information, with eye-tracking, physiological measures, and usability facilities. The lab is a shared resource for work in information behavior, human-computer interaction, and human-centered data science, and it is available to faculty across the university. Austin is an unusually rich setting for archival research and education, featuring the Texas State Library and Archives Commission and the Lyndon B. Johnson Presidential Library. UT Austin is home to the Harry Ransom Center, the Briscoe Center for American History, and the LLILAS Benson Latin American Collections. Within the Department, our Conservation Lab supports hands-on teaching and research in the care and treatment of collections. About the Department of Information Founded in 1948, we are a founding member of the iSchools Caucus and a founding department of the School of Computing. We work at the intersection of people, information, and technology. We study how people organize, preserve, and trust information; how technology meets the people who use it; and how computing and society shape one another. We offer BA and BS degrees in Informatics, an ALA-accredited Master of Science in Information Studies, a Master of Science in Information Security and Privacy offered jointly with the UT Center for Identity, and a PhD in Information Studies. About the School of Computing Computing is bigger than any one discipline, and the biggest breakthroughs happen where technology, data, and people come together. The School of Computing brings together world-class expertise, exceptional computing power, pioneering research, and deep industry connections to address problems no single field can solve alone. Its three founding departments are Information, Computer Science, and Statistics and Data Science.
