Senior Research Scientist, Alternative Computational Paradigms at Google
Cambridge, MA 02138
About the Job
Minimum qualifications:PhD degree in Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.2 years of experience leading a research agenda.Experience in software development in one or more programming languages.Publication record in machine learning or computational neuroscience, showing relevance to the stated research topic (alternative AI paradigms).Preferred qualifications:Experience with automated algorithm discovery methods, social media learning, or program synthesis.Experience with or working knowledge of digital hardware or hardware intended for machine learning.Broad or specific knowledge of computational neuroscience.Familiarity with non-gradient-based optimization techniques
About the job As an organization, Google maintains a portfolio of research projects driven by fundamental research, new product innovation, product contribution and infrastructure goals, while providing individuals and teams the freedom to emphasize specific types of work
As a Research Scientist, you'll setup large-scale tests and deploy promising ideas quickly and broadly, managing deadlines and deliverables while applying the latest theories to develop new and improved products, processes, or technologies
From creating experiments and prototyping implementations to designing new architectures, our research scientists work on real-world problems that span the breadth of computer science, such as machine (and deep) learning, data mining, natural language processing, hardware and software performance analysis, improving compilers for mobile platforms, as well as core search and much more.As a Research Scientist, you'll also actively contribute to the wider research community by sharing and publishing your findings, with ideas inspired by internal projects as well as from collaborations with research programs at partner universities and technical institutes all over the world.This role focuses on basic, exploratory research
Namely, we seek to advance the field of AI by exploring alternative computational paradigms beyond those currently trending
In particular, our team is interested in the discovery of learning algorithms for experimental, energy efficient hardware paradigms
This way, we aim to influence the direction of both hardware and algorithms for AI
We use both hand-design and automated discovery methods, like Automated ML
We draw inspiration from neuroscience, but our primary goal is to target artificial hardware, current or future
Google Research addresses challenges that define the technology of today and tomorrow
From conducting fundamental research to influencing product development, our research teams have the opportunity to impact technology used by billions of people every day
Our teams aspire to make discoveries that impact everyone, and core to our approach is sharing our research and tools to fuel progress in the field -- we publish regularly in academic journals, release projects as open source, and apply research to Google products.The US base salary range for this full-time position is $161,000-$239,000 + bonus + equity + benefits
Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location
The range displayed on each job posting reflects the minimum and maximum target salaries for the position across all US locations
Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training
Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for your preferred location during the hiring process.Please note that the compensation details listed in US role postings reflect the base salary only, and do not include bonus, equity, or benefits
