SRI’s Information & Computing Sciences Division is taking on some of the world’s most important challenges, creating leading-edge technology solutions that have revolutionary impact.   Our researchers are redefining the way human beings interact with machines and with one another through machines, as we define what’s next in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and computing for the real world. 

SRI’s Computer Science Laboratory (CSL) develops leading-edge tools and methods for areas including computer security, high-assurance systems, advanced user interfaces, computer networking, robotics, biotechnology, and nanotechnology. We study the logical foundations of scalable systems beyond the scope of traditional testing or simulation, and we create and apply high-level tools for rigorous mechanical analysis. 

CSL is looking to hire a Computer Scientist to conduct research and development in neuro-symbolic computing and intelligence with a focus on mathematical foundations of safe, robust, responsible, and ethical AI.  The Computer Scientist will actively participate in existing and new projects on neuro-symbolic computing and intelligence for government and commercial clients.

This is a fully REMOTE position. 

• Co-developing research ideas
• Leading the experimental evaluation of these ideas
• Developing mathematical foundations
• Dcumentation in technical reports and research papers.

• Ph.D. in Computer Science or related area with strong mathematical background
• Solid publication track record with a citation count of at least 75 in last 5 years and at least 3 papers in top AI/ML/PL venues such as NeurIPS, CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, ICLR, AAAI, UAI, OOPSLA and VLDB in the last 5 years
• One additional area of deep expertise beyond AI/ML that is synergistic such as concentration measures, multimodal testbeds, mathematical foundations of programming languages, and low-energy computing.
• Expertise to run research experiments in frameworks such as PyTorch and write code in a collaborative manner.
• Ability to travel to project sites and conference venues as required
