What you will do
- Collaborate with research mentors to formulate research projects or novel applications of machine learning
- Conduct independent and collaborative research and publish high-quality work at top AI and domain-applied research venues
- Design and execute large-scale experiments using modern deep learning frameworks
- Write high-quality, reusable code
- Develop models and systems that bridge AI capabilities with real-world application requirements in high-stakes, regulated domains
- Engage across teams including domain experts and applied engineering
- Contribute to the broader research community through publications, open-source releases, and collaboration with academic and industry partners
Required qualifications
- PhD (or expected completion by start date) in Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, or a related STEM field, or equivalent practical experience
- Research experience in machine learning or AI techniques
- Proficiency in Python
- Experience training deep learning models using PyTorch, JAX, TensorFlow, or equivalent frameworks
- One or more scientific publication submissions in top AI or applied domain research venues
Nice to have
- Research background at the intersection of AI and medicine, finance, or law
- Experience designing, fine-tuning, or evaluating LLMs or foundation models in applied domain settings
- Familiarity with evaluation challenges in high-stakes AI — fairness, explainability, robustness, or regulatory constraints
- Publications at domain-applied AI venues (e.g., CHIL, ML4H, FinNLP, NLLP)
- Experience with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), knowledge graphs, or structured reasoning over domain-specific data
