Job Description

We currently have an opening for a full-time Senior Human-Computer Interaction Researcher whose work seeks to incorporate recent advances in generative large language models (LLMs). Specific research areas of interest include human-machine dialogue, human-AI alignment, trust (and over-trust) in AI, and the use of multimodal generative AI approaches in conjunction with other tools and techniques (e.g., virtual and/or augmented reality) to accelerate learning in real-world task environments. Additional related projects underway at Kairos involve the integration of generative AI into interactive dashboards for visualizing and interrogating social media narratives. The Human-Computer Interaction Researcher will play a significant role in supporting our growing body of work with DARPA, Special Operations Command, the Air Force Research Laboratory, and other federal sponsors.

Requirements

  • REQUIRED: US citizenship or green card. Ph.D. in Human-Computer Interaction
  • Cognitive Science
  • Computer Science
  • Linguistics
  • or related discipline. 3+ years direct research experience post-Ph.D. Willingness and ability to obtain independent research funding. Strong publication record as lead author or senior author in high-impact journals/conferences. Excellent written and oral presentation skills. Other Preferred Skills: Experience with 1) deep learning
  • as well as common associated frameworks (e.g. PyTorch or TensorFlow) and 2) NLP
  • employing established toolsets (e.g. spaCy
  • nltk
  • gensim). Familiarity with common tools
  • frameworks
  • and services for building
  • testing
  • and evaluating generative AI
  • especially LLMs (e.g.
  • HuggingFace
  • LangChain
  • OpenAI). Experience utilizing contemporary LLM frameworks for learning and inference
  • including supervised fine-tuning LLMs
  • as well as transformer reinforcement learning (e.g.
  • reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF)
  • direct preference optimization (DPO)). Expertise in evaluating AI alignment/misalignment
  • diagnosing possible sources of bias
  • and deploying strategies to address or mitigate poor alignment.
