Position Highlights

The University of Arizona's College of Information Science invites you to apply to the role of Senior Research Scientist (Research Scientist IV).

As a Senior Research Scientist, you will provide high-level scientific and technical leadership, oversee the design and implementation of experimental pipelines, maintain robust research codebases, and ensure methodological rigor across large-scale empirical studies. This position works closely with internal teams, student researchers, and external collaborators to advance research strategies and develop new methodological directions.

This is a grant-funded project with a time-sensitive timeline. The position is anticipated to start by no later than the end of September 2026. The final candidate determination will take into consideration the candidate’s availability to start in alignment with the project timeline.

Candidates working anywhere in the U.S. may be considered for a remote assignment. If you are selected for this position and are employed to work remotely from outside of Arizona, your overtime exemption status will depend on the laws of the state where you perform your work. For employees working outside of Arizona, you may be hired as an hourly employee in accordance with state laws. A comparable hourly rate range would be: $36.32 - $47.22. These changes would not affect the position duties as outlined.

This is an Extended Temporary Employment (ETE) position.
