Full Job Description

Description

Are you an early-career researcher hoping to invent the future of artificial intelligence (AI)?

Do you have a burning desire for your research to serve a bigger purpose?

Are you concerned about pressing challenges facing our nation’s security and prosperity?

If these questions describe you, you may be the kind of person the Artificial Intelligence Group at JHU/APL is looking for. We are a team within the Research and Exploratory Development Department (REDD) that strives to close the gap between frontier models and our sponsors’ expectations for an AI-dominated future. Our research programs are targeting foundational advances with cross-mission impact, such as:

Improving alignment of AI agents used in human-machine teaming and wargaming
Training multimodal foundation models on language and sensor data
Intelligent robots that use agentic AI to perform complex tasks in a self-directed way
Assessing, mitigating, and exploiting vulnerabilities of frontier models
Mission-driven test and evaluation (T&E) of novel research

We are seeking new PhD graduates that, in the short-term, can make important contributions to our current research, and in the long-term can grow into a thought leadership role for the Laboratory. We have many opportunities for you to propose your own ideas for internal seedling funding, and our Program Managers can help you grow these into externally-funded projects. Along the way, we will encourage and support publication of your work and engagement with the broader research ecosystem.

Qualifications

You meet our minimum qualifications for the job if you:

Have a PhD or equivalent degree with dissertation work in fundamental AI research.
Have a strong record of peer-reviewed publications in reputable journals and/or conferences.
Are proficient in Python programming with experience using PyTorch and/or Jax, including Hugging Face libraries (transformers, diffusers, datasets, tokenizers, etc.).
Are able to acquire an Interim Secret level security clearance by your start date and can ultimately acquire a final Top Secret level clearance. If selected, you will be subject to a government security clearance investigation and must meet the requirements for access to classified information. Eligibility requirements include U.S. citizenship.

You'll go above and beyond our minimum requirements if you have research experience in any of these areas:

Measuring and increasing alignment between humans and AI agents
Novel techniques for training and/or fine-tuning foundation models
Models or agents for robotic control and problem-solving
Adversarial and/or natural robustness of computer vision and autonomy
Neural rendering techniques for 3D scene reconstruction
