Research Scientist

The Research Scientist on the Mosaic team at AI2 should have a strong foundation in natural language processing, machine reading, automatic knowledge base construction, large-scale textual inference and entailment, knowledge representation and reasoning, computer vision and machine learning, or question answering and explanation. They will work in an exciting, fast-paced research environment, author and present high-quality scientific papers and presentations for peer-reviewed journals and conferences, take a leading role in implementing software systems supporting AI2’s research, collaborate with and learn from team members across AI2, mentor early-career researchers and interns on their projects, and help develop collaborative relationships with relevant academic, industrial, government, and standards organizations. The Mosaic team collaborates frequently with researchers on AI2’s other teams focused on machine learning and the Semantic Scholar engine, among others.
