About the Role

As a Bayesian Methods Co-Op, you will work alongside research scientists and engineers on a focused project to advance AI systems for making better experimental decisions. Your methods will be tested against live campaigns.

Responsibilities

  • Design and benchmark experiment-selection strategies that balance exploration and exploitation under realistic budgets
  • Build autonomous discovery agents that propose the next experiment from surrogate models
  • Develop in-context learning approaches inspired by Bayesian inference, evaluating calibration and robustness
  • Run retrospective and live evaluations on active campaign data with clear baselines and metrics
  • Present findings to ML and experimental teams, with the option to contribute to a publication

Requirements

  • Pursuing a Master's or PhD in statistics, ML, CS, operations research, applied math, or a quantitative science
  • Solid grounding in Bayesian inference and decision making, including priors and posterior predictive distributions
  • Research experience in Gaussian processes, Bayesian optimization, bandits, reinforcement learning, or probabilistic modeling
  • Strong Python skills with PyTorch and probabilistic libraries such as Pyro, PyMC, or BoTorch
  • Comfort working with small, noisy, and heterogeneous datasets
  • Clear communication with both ML and experimental collaborators
