Duties: Research Scientist to perform fundamental research on probabilistic computation, probabilistic programming, and their applications. Responsibilities include contributing to artificial intelligence and natural intelligence research that leverages hybrids of neural, symbolic, and probabilistic computation; implementing probabilistic programs, making improvements to probabilistic programming systems, and/or developing and analyzing mathematical models of probabilistic programming languages; contributing to quantitative evaluations of AI systems, models of natural intelligence, probabilistic programming platforms, and research planning and reporting; improving open-source software platforms; and supporting the broad dissemination and teaching of probabilistic programming platforms via workshops and MIT academic courses
Requirements: Ph.D. in computer science, mathematics, or related field or a master’s and five years’ experience
