Carnegie Science AI policy
In short
For postdoctoral fellowship applications to Carnegie Science's Earth and Planets Laboratory (EPL), cautious use of generative AI as a research or writing aid is allowed if applicants take responsibility for all content they submit. Applicants attest that the application gives appropriate credit to tools including generative AI where it materially contributed. EPL says it does not use AI to evaluate applications.
For applicants
- For EPL postdoctoral applications, cautious use of generative AI as a research or writing aid is allowed, as long as you take responsibility for all the content you submit.[1]
- EPL postdoctoral applicants must attest to full responsibility for the proposal's content and that it gives appropriate credit to ideas, literature, and tools created by others, including generative AI where its use materially contributed to the proposal.[1]
For reviewers
- EPL does not use AI in the evaluation of postdoctoral applications, and application materials are shared only with scientific reviewers and HR staff involved in selection.[2]
