Medical Ai Postdoc Jobs (NOW HIRING)

At Toyota Research Institute (TRI), we're on a mission to improve the quality of human life. We're developing new tools and capabilities to amplify the human experience. To lead this transformative shift in mobility, we've built a world-class team advancing the state of the art in AI, robotics, driving, and material sciences.
This postdoc opportunity falls within theHuman-Centered AI Division (HCAI). We are an integrated team of ML researchers, behavior scientists, and human-computer interaction experts. At the core of our work, we aim to support people to make better decisions by leveraging the best of big data, technology, and insights about why we do what we do.
We are seeking a highly motivated and talented postdoctoral researcher for a one-year position to join our Future Product Innovation team and push the envelope on what is possible with Generative AI technologies in the domain of automotive product design. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in CAD Generation and Machine Learning or related fields, with demonstrated interest in design and generative AI. In this project, the postdoc will develop 3D shape generation techniques constrained by design requirements and knowledge with applications to CAD.
Over the course of the project, in addition to Future Product Innovation group meetings, the postdoc will also participate in all Human-Centered AI division meetings and meetings with stakeholders from relevant Toyota business groups. The postdoc will be exposed to how interdisciplinary industrial research works and how cross-functional groups collaborate. Furthermore, the postdoc will engage in strategy discussions about how their research connects to business impact at Toyota.
