The AI research groups at the Department of Computing Science, Umeå 
University, Sweden, have established a Visiting Fellowship program to 
foster the development of links with international scholars (at least 5 
years post doctorate). This Fellowship is an exciting opportunity for 
scholars to visit the Department, contribute to its academic life and 
form new collaborations. The focus of the Fellowship is on the impact of 
Artificial Intelligence, in the broadest sense, a key strength and 
unifying feature of the AI cluster, or on a substantive area of interest 
within AI cluster. Proposals for collaborative research with members of 
the AI cluster are especially welcome. Applicants are therefore strongly 
encouraged to engage on interaction with members of the cluster prior to 
submitting their application for visiting fellowship program. We expect 
to support 3 to 5 fellowships per year. Applications can be submitted 
twice a year: before 28 February (for visits in the following Fall) of 
before 31 August (for visits in the Spring of the year after). 
Applicants are expected to be active on AI or other relevant research 
areas and be currently employed at an institution outside Sweden. 
Successful applicants will receive an award of maximum SEK50000 (+- 
€5000) to cover travel, accommodation or subsistence expenses incurred 
in holding the Fellowship. Fellows will normally be on paid leave of 
absence from their employment. Fellows are expected to stay in Umeå for 
a period of one to two months (preferably continuous, but can be split 
into a maximum of two occasions). Fellows will be entitled to use 
University facilities. The AI cluster at the department of Computing 
Science covers a broad area of research, including • Responsible 
Artificial Intelligence • Socially Aware Artificial Intelligence • 
Interactive and Intelligent Systems • Intelligent Robotics • XAI – 
Explainable Artificial Intelligence • Foundations of Language Processing 
• Cognitive Engineering See
