About Us
Connecting Talent with Opportunity
Across American Academia
Data Worlds AI is the nation's premier platform for academic job seekers and institutions, powered by artificial intelligence and a passion for education.
Our Story
Built by Academics, for Academics
Data Worlds AI was born from a simple frustration: finding academic positions in the United States was unnecessarily complicated, fragmented, and opaque. Our founder, Dr. Michael Thompson, spent months navigating countless job boards, university websites, and networking events before landing his first tenure-track position at Stanford.
That experience sparked a vision — a single, intelligent platform that could aggregate every academic opportunity across all 50 states and use AI to match candidates with positions that truly fit their expertise, values, and career goals.
Today, Data Worlds AI serves over 50,000 academic professionals and partners with 2,500+ universities and research institutions. From faculty positions to postdoctoral fellowships, from research roles to administrative leadership — we cover it all.
