New York University
Description
Center for Data Science at NYU seeks a full-time software engineer position as part of its new initiative, Polymathic AI, Building Foundation Models for Science. Recent advances in machine learning, including Large Language Models and diffusion based generative models have driven significant advances in Artificial Intelligence. Polymathic AI seeks to leverage these ideas to develop the next generation of AI-powered scientific analysis tools, seeking more powerful and more interpretable models with broad applications to many scientific disciplines. Our group includes researchers from multiple scientific disciplines ranging from machine learning, to astrophysics, biology, neuroscience and quantum computing.
The selected candidates will work closely with a group of computer scientists, domain scientists, and AI experts in developing software and leveraging large AI models to solve pressing scientific challenges.
The hired engineer will have access to computational resources allowing training of large AI models. We offer an exciting multidisciplinary context for researching AI and its applications.
The Software Engineer will report to Shirley Ho, Senior Research Scientist and is a full-time fixed term position with a duration of one year, with possible renewals. This position is based on site at the Center for Data Science at NYU'
ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS/RESPONSIBILITIES
Develop and train large AI models for science Curate large datasets pertinent to the initiative Develop, implement, maintain, and support software relevant to the initiative. Engage in research on foundation models for science Collaborate with other Software Engineers, Flatiron Research Fellows, Research Analysts. Lead and improve open-source software practices In compliance with NYC's Pay Transparency Act, the annual base salary range for this position is $100,000-$250,000.
