You temporarily need (during summer only): either 1) a professional academic to work with your AI team to produce published research, or 2) a professional academic to develop tools and curricula to "teach" AI to a non-STEM audience.

  Location: Anywhere / Remote
  Remote: Yes
  Willing to relocate: Temporarily only
  Technologies: AI, Python, R, JavaScript, PHP, SQL.
  Email: ProfSummerGig@gmail.com
Résumé/CV: Looking for a Summer Gig near warm surfing water: Not looking for a permanent job (am a tenured full professor at a university in the mid-west). I get summers off. Have studied AI via Andrew Ng's MOOC. The goal is to work with an AI team and publish peer-reviewed journal papers. I don't need pay. Preference will be given to offers involving: "enough room to lay my sleeping bag plus access to a kitchen & bathroom -- near the beach in SoCal or Florida or some such". 46 years old, born in India, U.S. citizen, language learner (basic Spanish, basic French, proficient Hindi), good cook, surfer, very active and into fitness. TEDx speaker. One of my interests would be: "teaching" AI to a non-STEM audience.

Wow, I'm sure you're going to get snatched up quick. Best of luck.
He sure has an interesting story and great priorities! I also wish you best of luck and lots of fun, düde!

PS: Please talk to Brian Harvey and Ken Kahn about Snap! and ecraft2learn, if you like teaching AI to kids! The surfing's not great in Berkeley, but you'll love Santa Cruz!
