A rapidly growing AI research group is seeking exceptional Research Scientists to advance the field of large language model (LLM) evaluation and understanding. This team is focused on building the next generation of evaluation frameworks, interpretability tools, and alignment techniques that will enable more transparent and responsible AI development.

In this role, you will conduct original research to probe LLM reasoning, comprehension, and emergent behaviors. You’ll help design methodologies and benchmarks that push the boundaries of how we measure model intelligence, reliability, and alignment with human values.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead cutting-edge research in LLM evaluation, model understanding, and human-AI knowledge interaction

• Design novel experiments and probing techniques to assess model behavior, limitations, and emergent properties

• Develop scalable frameworks and tools for large-scale model assessment

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to implement and iterate on experimental insights

• Write clean, maintainable code to support experimentation, data collection, and automated evaluation pipelines

• Contribute to publications and presentations that advance understanding in the AI research community

• Support the development of standards for responsible model assessment and interpretability

Requirements

• PhD or equivalent research experience in machine learning, AI, cognitive science, computer science, or a related discipline

• Deep knowledge of large language models, model evaluation, interpretability, or post-training assessment techniques

• Proven track record of independently driving research projects from hypothesis to validation

• Strong programming skills in Python, with hands-on experience using PyTorch or similar frameworks

• Experience designing experiments, building benchmarks, or analyzing complex model behavior

• Excellent communication skills with the ability to convey deep technical insights clearly
