ML Research Resident
Develops computational operators to enable LLMs to perform transparent, verifiable reasoning over thousands of iterations on knowledge states like scientific papers. Requires LLM experience, reasoning intuitions, and strong software engineering skills.
About the job
Responsibilities
- Develop computational procedures (operators) that reliably improve knowledge states over thousands of iterations.
- Design and test improvement operators that maintain stability over 1000+ iterations while making genuine progress.
- Start with simple cases (e.g., shallow refactoring of scientific papers) and scale to complex reasoning tasks.
Requirements
- Experience with LLMs.
- Good intuitions about systematic and verifiable reasoning.
- Care about AI transparency.
- Strong software engineering background preferred.
- Concrete examples of novel abstractions for automated reasoning preferred.
Compensation
- $12-15k/month for 3-month contract (approximately $144,000 - $180,000 annualized).
Skills
LLMs, Python, Automated Reasoning, Ai Transparency, Software Engineering, Scientific Papers Processing, Knowledge State Management
