Job description

We are seeking a Machine Learning (ML) Research Scientist to join our team working on a novel AI safety research agenda. In this role, you will develop and evaluate probabilistic inference methods, with a focus on amortized inference, translating theoretical insights into practical implementations.

Key responsibilities

  • Develop amortized inference methods suitable for high-dimensional discrete and continuous distributions.
  • Develop parameter- and structure-learning methods for large probabilistic graphical models that benefit from amortized probabilistic inference.
  • Design evaluation strategies for methods that rely on probabilistic inference.
  • Collaborate with mathematicians on theory related to learning and inference in probabilistic models.
  • Translate theoretical proposals into high quality implementations in a programming language such as Python.
  • Analyze and interpret experimental results to steer future research directions.
  • Communicate complex findings effectively to various stakeholders.

Skills and qualifications

  • Advanced degree in a relevant field (e.g., Computer Science, Mathematics). A PhD is preferred but not required if the candidate demonstrates exceptional abilities.
  • A minimum of 3 years of experience in deep learning research.
  • Expertise in probabilistic inference is required, in addition to expertise in one or more of the following:
    • Bayesian inference
    • Sampling-based approximate inference methods
    • Amortized inference methods (including variational inference methods or Generative Flow Networks)
    • Parameter- and/or structure-learning in probabilistic graphical models (including causal models)
    • Reinforcement learning
    • Optimal control
  • Strong background in mathematics.
  • Proven experience in developing and implementing machine learning models.
  • Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, and experience with  ML frameworks like PyTorch or TensorFlow.
  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with a demonstrated ability to think critically about complex systems.
  • Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to explain complex ideas to diverse audiences.
  • Track record of contributing to high-quality research in probabilistic inference or related fields.
  • Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment while also being self-motivated and independent.

What we offer

  • The opportunity to contribute to a unique mission with a major impact.
  • Comprehensive health benefits.
  • A minimum of 20 days vacation per year upon start.
  • A minimum retirement savings employer contribution of 4%.
  • Generous flexible benefits designed to contribute to your well-being.
  • A team of passionate experts in their field.
  • A collaborative and inclusive work environment with offices in the heart of Little Italy, in the trendy Mile-Ex district, close to public transportation.
