About Claflin University
Basic information and contact details for Claflin University
Claflin University is a Methodist affiliated and historically black university situated in Orangeburg, South Carolina. The institution was founded in 1869 by missionaries from northern states, in order to educate recently freed slaves and their children. In the modern era Claflin offers both undergraduate and graduate courses, and is regarded as one of the premier liberal arts colleges in the state. The university is named for Massachusetts Governor William Claflin and his philanthropist father Lee.
Thirty-six majors and twenty-four minors comprise the undergraduate study programme, in the Schools of Business Administration, Education, Humanities & Social Sciences, and Natural Sciences & Mathematics. Claflin also offers a Masters of business administration degree as an online programme.
The James S. Thomas Science Centre host mathematics classrooms, biology and chemistry based laboratories, as well as a greenhouse on the building’s roof. Since 1999 the Centre for Excellence in Teaching has been functioning at Claflin, ensuring the continuing proficiency and strong reputation of all teaching and resources at the university.
Four men’s and six women’s teams compete in varsity sports for Claflin under the ‘Panthers’ team name. Teams play as part of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, and in 2015 the women's volleyball side was first in Claflin’s in history to win a Championship in the division.
Civil rights activist Gloria Blackwell, and actor E. Roger Mitchell are both alumni of Claflin. Hip-hop artist Danny! was expelled after being accused of grade fixing, and his experiences would influence his debut album College Kid.
The official colours of Claflin are orange and maroon, and its motto is ‘the world needs visionaries’. There are ten residence halls on campus, which are divided by gender.

Finland, Helsingfors (Helsinki)
The Faculty of Humanities and the Faculty of Science at the University of Helsinki invite applications for the position of RESEARCH FELLOW (UNIVERSITY RESEARCHER) OR POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHER IN THE AREA OF TRUSTWORTHY AI ACROSS LINGUISTIC AND CULTURAL DIVERSITIES for a fixed term period 1 January 2027 – 31 December 2030. The Faculty of Humanities and Faculty of Science invite applications for a joint (50%:50%) position as Research Fellow in trustworthy AI across linguistic and cultural diversities within the research action Diversity in Society and Life (DIVSOL). We seek an experienced scholar with expertise in developing artificial intelligence and a demonstrated interest in advancing research methods through interdisciplinary collaboration. We primarily seek to appoint at the Research Fellow level, but Postdoctoral Researcher candidates with strong research experience after doctoral degree will also be considered. The appointed researcher is expected to contribute, from the perspective of AI methods development, to the interdisciplinary research across two or more thematic areas of DIVSOL (see https://www.helsinki.fi/en/diversity-society-and-life/research for more detailed description of the thematic areas). The position involves methodological development in the context of humanities, especially linguistic and cultural diversities across time and space, AI research in low-resource scenarios (e.g., focusing on minoritized and under-resourced communities), and developing methods for diminishing the digital divide in research and society by developing reliable and trustworthy AI. The position contributes to advancing methodological innovation through the creative use of machine learning, AI, and other algorithmic techniques. In line with the interdisciplinary and reflexive ethos of DIVSOL, attention to the societal implications of AI is an important dimension of all research. RESPONSIBILITIES The appointed researcher is expected to pursue independent research on methodological innovation in developing and applying AI methods in humanities, typically in collaboration with existing research groups at the university. Relevant research groups include but are not limited to the following: Computational History, Cross-Lingual NLP, Finno-Ugrian Linguistics, Human Sciences – Computing Interaction, Probabilistic Machine Learning Lab, Scientist in the Loop – Automation of Scientific Discovery. Concrete examples of data sources include historical and born-digital records, databases, resources in minoritized languages, and location or mobility data, with a particular interest in combining different data sources. As the data may include sensitive information, attention to ethical and legal issues is required. In addition to DIVSOL, the appointed researcher participates in the joint activity of the university-wide AI Research Lab that supports the use of AI in scientific research. It will involve roughly ten researchers, three of whom will jointly develop AI in scientific research in the context of DIVSOL. The Lab works in close collaboration with the broader machine learning and AI research community at the university, including software engineers and various support services. The daily working activities of the appointed researcher will be split between the Faculty of Humanities and the Faculty of Science. The researcher will also contribute to teaching and administrative tasks (up to 5% of their working time annually). It is possible to complete the teaching and administrative tasks in English. QUALIFICATIONS An ideal applicant has: A doctoral degree in a suitable field. Research experience after completing the doctoral degree is necessary. Scientific competence in developing and applying artificial intelligence methods with proven publication record in scientific venues in the field, as well as practical programming skills. We expect publication record in top-tier venues in one or more areas relevant for the position: computational linguistics and NLP (ACL, COLING, EMNLP, CL, TACL, or similar), machine learning and AI (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, JMLR, or similar), and AI in humanities (Digital Scholarship in the Humanities, Journal of Cultural Analytics, or similar). Applicants with publications in a closely related field, but not exactly within the scope of the position, are asked to describe clearly why their background is suitable for the position. Applicants are expected to describe their research interests, to explain how these relate to the scope and topic of the position, and to specify how they envision collaboration with existing research groups at the University of Helsinki.
