Founding Research Scientist
Scientific Superintelligence Lab (Stealth)
New York, NY
$250,000 – $350,000 Salary + Equity
Come join a research-led company in New York working toward scientific
superintelligence: AI that can drive science end to end, from hypothesis to experiment to result.
Responsibilities:
- Lead research on agents that learn continually from experience, without retraining and without forgetting.
- Develop learning methods (continual learning, memory, post-training, RL, reward and preference learning) for long, multimodal, partially observed experience with sparse and delayed outcomes.
- Build computer-use and embodied agents that think only when needed, act in real time and learn from a single demonstration.
- Design evaluations that measure generalization, adaptation and scientific competence rather than benchmark scores.
- Publish at top venues and help define the field.
Requirements:
- Published work at NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, CoRL, CVPR or similar.
- Breadth across at least two of vision, language, RL, generative models and robotics;
- comfortable moving between them as the problem demands.
- Unafraid to try unconventional approaches to push beyond the frontier.
- Genuine curiosity about how experimental science works.
- Seniority: final-year PhD, postdoc, research scientist or senior research scientist, with
- the independence to own a research direction.
Nice to have
- Research on continual learning, long-range memory, RL or post-training for LLMs, VLMs or agents.
- Experience with computer-use, GUI, web or embodied agents.
- Prior work in AI for science.
Full-time, in person in New York; Boston-based candidates considered.
Founding-level equity and a competitive salary. Reports to the CSO.
