Staff Machine Learning Research Scientist
At Toyota Research Institute (TRI), we’re on a mission to improve the quality of human life. We’re developing new tools and capabilities to amplify the human experience. To lead this transformative shift in mobility, we’ve built world-class teams in Human-Centered AI, Energy & Materials, Human Interactive Driving, Large Behavioral Models, and Robotics.
TRI’s Harmonious Communities Department within our Human-Centered AI (HCAI) Division has an immediate opening for a Staff AI Research Scientist interested in our core topic domain of social well-being and the future of work. We are looking for someone with expertise in and enthusiasm for machine learning research (e.g., model architecting, simulations, complex datasets).
We are particularly keen to talk with people who have interest or experience in using real-world, human-level data to model prefactuals and counterfactuals (e.g., multi-agent-based modeling, reinforcement learning, causal inference + ML, RDM + AI, Graph Neural Networks). We are launching a new project space, and want a colleague who can help define and build this trajectory.
Our mission is to use research to foster Toyota’s global mission of “wellbeing and happiness for all,” and this challenge motivates everything we do. We are a coordinated team of behavioral scientists, ML researchers, and human-computer interaction experts. The person who accepts this opportunity must have a strong interest in collaborating across all of these domains. Additionally, this role will work with teams across Toyota to design and pilot technologies that help us to better understand the social dynamics within and around our workplaces. Candidates should be self-starting and interested in making contributions within a multidisciplinary team project.
