[EOI][SPRING 2026] Polymathic AI Postdoctoral Researcher

Job description

Description The Center for Data Science at New York University (NYU) invites applications for postdoctoral scholars as part of the Polymathic AI initiative Polymathic AI is inviting applications for postdoctoral researchers in our team. Our research focuses on building and understanding foundation models for science, and in particular modeling complex interconnected systems from astronomy, biology, fluid dynamics to solar physics. For this position, we are looking for postdoctoral researchers that will contribute to our research on interpretability, generalization and general understanding of foundation models. The overarching objective is to create open access tools that enable researchers to reach meaningful understanding of the complex model quickly thus speeding up the pace of scientific discovery. Fulfilling this objective requires creativity to combine core-principles of machine learning to the practical tools of deep learning, now available through modern foundation models. For the theory part, the selected candidate will work in close collaboration with the Adaptive Bayesian Intelligence group headed by Dr. Emtiyaz Khan at RIKEN-AIP (in Tokyo, Japan) and TU Darmstadt (in Ge...
