About The RoleWe are seeking a talented, driven, and experienced
Research Scientist to join us in defining the future of AI + human healthcare. As a Research Scientist at Counsel Health, you will bridge the gap between fundamental research and product innovation. You will set up large-scale tests, deploy promising ideas quickly, and apply the latest theories to develop new and improved health-focused AI products.
From creating experiments and prototyping implementations to designing new architectures, you will work on real-world problems that span the breadth of computer science-including machine learning, natural language processing, and agentic systems-while collaborating closely with our clinical and engineering teams.
What You'll Do- Model Evaluation: Evaluate AI models on relevant clinical tasks using both automated benchmarks and human-based assessments to ensure safety and efficacy.
- Drive Research Impact: Write research papers to share findings and demonstrate impact across the team and the broader research community.
- Build Health-AI Models: Build end-to-end health-focused AI models, including pre-training and post-training workflows, specifically tailored for clinical environments.
- Create Novel Agentic Systems: Build agentic systems for both our patients and physicians. For example, you might build a system that pre-drafts prescriptions for the physician based on a user's presenting complaint, their past medical history and the suspected diagnosis.
- Prototype & Simulate: Develop prototypes or run simulations to assess research impact, finalize hypotheses, and refine methodologies.
- Knowledge Sharing: Help grow the research culture across teams by sharing research trends and practices within the community.
Who You Are- Advanced Degree: PhD degree in Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Technical Expertise: Experience in coding with Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, or R.
- AI/ML Specialization: Experience in agentic generative AI systems, Large Language Models (LLMs), and evaluation methodologies.
- Track Record: Publications in top-tier AI/ML conferences or journals, such as NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, or CVPR.
What You'll Bring- You have 5+ years of coding experience in Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, or R.
- You have 2+ year of experience owning and initiating research agendas.
- You have prior experience in healthcare research or working with clinical data.
- You are familiar with Healthcare Data formats, including FHIR and OMOP.
- You thrive on working alongside exceptional teammates and derive energy from collaborative environments.
- You are comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-growth environment where you can flex into both research and practical implementation.
