Identify and Define Impactful Problems: Proactively identify critical challenges in your field where AI/ML can drive breakthroughs.
End-to-End Research Ownership: Lead independent research projects from ideation to implementation, including literature review, hypothesis formulation, numerical experimentation, and validation.
Develop and Apply AI/ML Solutions: Design, implement, and refine advanced algorithms, models, and frameworks (e.g., deep learning, LLMs, agentic AI) to address domain-specific problems.
Collaborate and Innovate: Work with a multidisciplinary team of scientists, engineers, and domain experts (including customers) to push the boundaries of what’s possible with AI in science.
Autonomy and Initiative: Operate with high autonomy, setting your own research agenda and driving projects to completion with minimal oversight.

Domain Expertise: Strong understanding and research capabilities in at least one scientific domain (e.g., physics, chemistry or materials science), demonstrated by first-author publications, open-source contributions, or other impactful projects.
Track record in AI/ML; the ability to shed light on hard, real-life problems with an AI solution, demonstrated by further contributions.
Broad experience in coding, for scientific computing and in machine learning, deep learning, and/or large language models.
Hands-on experience using frameworks like PyTorch or TensorFlow is especially appreciated.
Interdisciplinarity: ability to communicate to a broad-non specialized audience while still remaining technical.
Customer Collaboration Experience: Experience working with customers or end-users to refine requirements is also appreciated.
