Post-Doctoral AI Researcher (2 year Fixed-Term)

The role

A Post-Doctoral Researcher will conduct independent and collaborative research on machine learning applied to medicine, finance, and law. The role involves designing large-scale experiments and publishing high-quality work at top research venues.

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
