Research Scientist - Simplex

140k – 200kEmeryville, CAAI ResearchOnsite
Summary

Develops theories of intelligence grounded in neural network internal structures, focusing on belief geometries in LLMs and biological brains. Conducts experiments bridging mathematics, ML interpretability, and safety research; requires PhD-level quantitative depth and hands-on coding.

About the role

Responsibilities

  • Develop unsupervised methods to recover belief geometries in real LLMs.
  • Extend theory of intelligence to complex cognitive tasks, RL, and biological brains.
  • Investigate generalization and out-of-distribution behavior in neural networks.
  • Participate in red teaming to stress-test the framework and identify edge cases.
  • Apply mathematics to biological neural networks using real brain data.

Requirements

  • Depth in at least one quantitative field (physics, mathematics, neuroscience, machine learning, etc.).
  • PhD or equivalent preferred.
  • Rigorous mathematics skills combined with hands-on work with models and data.
  • Ability to move between theory and experiment.
  • Cross-disciplinary learning (dynamical systems, probability, deep learning, physics, information theory, neuroscience).
  • Self-directed with ownership over research ideas.
  • Strong communication for collaboration.
  • Proficiency building code, experiments, and using AI tools.

Preferred

  • Extensive ML experience.
  • Experience in interpretability.
