Job Summary
The ML Research Scientist – Clinical NLP designs original language algorithms for entity extraction, relation classification, and summarization over clinical notes. This scientist trains and fine-tunes transformer architectures on large-scale clinical corpora, publishes peer-reviewed research at top ML/NLP conferences, collaborates with ML engineers to convert research models into production code, and mentors junior AI researchers.
Key Roles & Operational Responsibilities
1. Original Research & Clinical NLP Innovation
- Scientific Leadership: Design and execute original research initiatives in clinical NLP, specializing in named entity recognition (NER), relation extraction, clinical reasoning, and narrative summarization.
- Corpus Model Training: Develop, pretrain, and fine-tune modern transformer architectures on large-scale de-identified clinical note datasets and electronic health records.
- Literature & Community Engagement: Represent Curely AI within the global research ecosystem, presenting findings at international conferences and engaging with academic working groups.
2. Publication & Academic Contributions
- Peer-Reviewed Output: Author and publish high-impact research papers in top-tier NLP and ML venues, including ACL, EMNLP, NeurIPS, CHIL, and AMIA.
- Methodological Standards: Define rigorous research evaluation metrics and baseline comparison protocols to benchmark model novelties against state-of-the-art benchmarks.
3. Production Translation & Research Mentorship
- Engineering Collaboration: Partner directly with Staff ML Engineers to convert experimental research code into low-latency, production-ready model pipelines.
- Team Mentorship: Mentor junior research scientists, interns, and data analysts, cultivating a rigorous scientific research culture across the organization.
Foundational Capabilities & Prerequisites
Required Technical Profile & Experience
- Academic Baseline: PhD in Computer Science, Computational Linguistics, Artificial Intelligence, or a closely related quantitative field.
- Post-PhD Research Experience: Minimum of 3+ years of post-PhD research experience in NLP/ML within an academic laboratory or industrial research facility.
- Publication Track Record: Strong, verifiable publication record as a primary author at top-tier NLP or machine learning conferences (ACL, EMNLP, NeurIPS, etc.).
- Transformer Mastery: Deep expertise in transformer model architectures, large-scale language model pretraining, parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT), and instruction tuning.
- Engineering Stack: High proficiency in PyTorch and modern ML research tooling (Hugging Face, Weights & Biases, DeepSpeed).
Desired Skills
- Track record of publications specifically focused on clinical NLP, medical language modeling, or biomedical informatics.
- Hands-on experience working with standard clinical and biomedical corpora (e.g., MIMIC-III/IV, i2b2/n2c2 NLP challenges, PubMed/PMC).
- Background in structured information extraction, medical knowledge graphs, or formal clinical reasoning frameworks.
What Curely AI Offers
- Research Autonomy & Compute: Direct ambitious research projects backed by massive computational GPU resources and de-identified clinical datasets.
