At Toyota Research Institute (TRI) were on a mission to improve the quality of human life. Were developing new tools and capabilities to amplify the human experience. To lead this transformative shift in mobility weve built worldclass teams in HumanCentered AI Energy & Materials Human Interactive Driving Large Behavioral Models and Robotics.
TRIs Harmonious Communities Department within our HumanCentered AI (HCAI) Division has an immediate opening for a Staff AI Research Scientist interested in our core topic domain of social wellbeing 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 realworld humanlevel data to model prefactuals and counterfactuals (e.g. multiagentbased 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 Toyotas 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 humancomputer 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 selfstarting and interested in making contributions within a multidisciplinary team project.
Responsibilities
Collaborate crossfunctionally with specialists in multiple fields as well as university partners to research and develop technology that models emergent properties in social systems
Stay current on the stateoftheart in Machine Learning theories practice and software
