The Chang Lab, led by PI Serina Chang, is part of the Berkeley EECS Department, the UCSF UC Berkeley Joint Program in Computational Precision Health, the Berkeley AI Research (BAIR) Lab, and the Center for Human-Compatible AI (CHAI).

We are seeking a postdoc to work on projects at the intersection of AI and human behavior, including modeling human behavior with AI, building AI tools to support societal decision-making, and studying the impacts of AI on society. Potential projects include:

1. 
   
2. Developing AI models of individuals that can accurately simulate complex behaviors across modalities, supported by rich, individual-level data including mobility trajectories, surveys, in-depth interviews, and health behaviors and outcomes.
   
3. Scaling simulations to entire societies with millions of agents, developing robust validation of societal simulations, and applying societal simulations to inform decisions in high-stakes domains (e.g., public health, emergency response).
   
4. Studying the impacts of generative AI on human health and well-being, from individual-level human-AI interactions (e.g., mental health risks, health decision-making) to community-level dynamics (e.g., changing support networks, engagement with health systems).
   

The selected candidate will assist with leading research projects, work closely with PI Serina Chang, mentor junior students in the lab, and help with the management of the lab.
