Summer Research Intern (Assistant, Associate or Pre-Doctoral), Polymathic AI, Building Foundation Models for Science Apply locations 160 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY time type Full time posted on Posted Yesterday job requisition id R0001598 POSITION SUMMARY The Simons Foundation's Flatiron Institute seeks summer interns 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. The Flatiron Institute 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 language models and large AI models to solve pressing scientific challenges.
The Flatiron Institute has computational capabilities allowing training of fairly large AI models to join this new initiative. We offer an exciting multidisciplinary context for researching AI and its applications.
The Summer Internship Program will take place in-person at the Simons Foundation's offices in New York City. Intern appointment titles and compensation will be determined based on the intern's education level and experience.
ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS/RESPONSIBILITIES Develop and train large AI models for pressing scientific questions
Curate large datasets pertinent to the initiative
Develop, implement, maintain, and support software relevant to the initiative.
Engage in foundation models for science research
Collaborate with other software engineers, Flatiron Research Fellows, Research scientists.
Perform any other duties or tasks as required by the initiative
Help build, improve, and support high-quality, open-source software libraries relating to efforts within the group
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS Education B.S., M.S. in machine learning, computer science, engineering or related technical discipline.

About Us The Simons Foundation is a private foundation established in 1994 in New York City by Jim and Marilyn Simons. With an annual grants and programs budget of $450 million, the foundation's mission is to advance the frontiers of research in mathematics and the basic sciences.
The foundation pursues its mission through its grant-making division, comprising programs in Mathematics & Physical Sciences, Life Sciences, Science, Society and Culture, and autism research, and through its internal research division, the Flatiron Institute.
The Mathematics & Physical Sciences program supports work in mathematics, theoretical computer science and theoretical physics. The Life Sciences program works to advance basic research in life sciences, with, among other efforts, large grant programs in ocean ecology and in the origins of life.
The Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative (SFARI) is a campaign that aims to improve the understanding, diagnosis and treatment of autism by funding innovative research of the highest quality and relevance. SFARI also supports the editorially independent autism research news siteSpectrum .
In 2016, the foundation launched the Flatiron Institute (FI), a multidisciplinary institute whose mission is to advance scientific research through computational methods, including data analysis, modeling and simulation. The FI hosts scientists and collaborating expert programmers who work to create, deploy and support new state-of-the-art computational methods.
Science, Society and Culture supports and promotes scientific literacy in society generally. Specifically, the program supports the nonprofit Math for America and the independent science news site,Quanta Magazine . This program's Science Sandbox initiative seeks to unlock scientific thinking in all people, so that science becomes a more integral part of culture .
SALARY AND BENEFITS
In addition to competitive salaries, the Simons Foundation provides employees with an outstanding benefits package.
