  • Advance a research agenda through one or more projects, yielding new algorithms, prototypes, theories, tools, methods, or collections of data
  • Develop and deploy computing technologies that uphold trustworthiness, robustness, privacy, values, and ethical considerations
  • Collaborate with other relevant researchers or groups to advance a research agenda
  • Embody our culture and values

Requirements:

  • PhD in Computer Science or related field AND 3+ years related research experience OR equivalent experience
  • Experience in one or more of the following areas: Foundation Models, Reinforcement Learning, Multi-Objective Optimization, Natural Language Processing, Deep Learning, Interactive Learning, Artificial Intelligence
  • Research ability demonstrated by an established publication record in top-tier venues (NeurIPS, COLM, ICLR)
  • Demonstrable ability to develop/shape original research agendas
  • Ability to work collaboratively in a multi-disciplinary team
  • Proficient oral and written communication skills
  • Passion for AI research

Nice to have:
