About the job

As a Research Scientist, you'll setup large-scale tests and deploy promising ideas quickly and broadly, managing deadlines and deliverables while applying the latest theories to develop new and improved products, processes, or technologies. From creating experiments and prototyping implementations to designing new architectures, our research scientists work on real-world problems that span the breadth of computer science, such as machine (and deep) learning, data mining, natural language processing, hardware and software performance analysis, improving compilers for mobile platforms, as well as core search and much more.

As a Research Scientist, you'll also actively contribute to the wider research community by sharing and publishing your findings, with ideas inspired by internal projects as well as from collaborations with research programs at partner universities and technical institutes all over the world.

As a Research Scientist on the Sociotechnical Analysis of Model Behavior (SAMBA) team in the Responsible Research Group (R2), you will conduct research on model behaviors that impact people and society. You will conduct qualitative and quantitative research, design experiments, and develop measures to characterize model properties relevant to responsibility and safety. You will also design tools and methods for measuring the impact of AI on society, broadly defined. As one part of your work, you will collaborate closely with other Research Scientists and Research Engineers to build frontier evaluations, apply them in practice, and publish results.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
