The project director (PD) position for the AI scientist track of the K-Moonshot project, which had been vacant, has been refilled through a new appointment. Supporting materials posted on the relevant institution's website and an official recruitment notice document the selection.
The PD role for the K-Moonshot AI scientist program had been empty after the previous holder's departure. A new appointment notice and accompanying images published on the Korea University statistics department site (stat.korea.ac.kr), along with a document posted by the National Science and Technology Council (nst.re.kr), indicate that a selection process was carried out and the post has been staffed again.
The available materials, including a fact-check record saved on September 30, 2026, document the appointment outcome and the recruitment notice associated with it.
The documents do not specify the identity of the newly appointed PD, the exact date the vacancy arose, or the size of the program budget involved. Details of the selection criteria and the candidate pool were also not disclosed in the materials reviewed.
The claim that the vacant K-Moonshot AI scientist PD post has been refilled is True.
