Research Scientist Intern
AI
Pluralis Research is seeking a Research Scientist Intern for a 6-month fixed-term internship focused on Protocol Learning, training and serving large models in a decentralized manner. The role involves publishing novel research in tier-1 ML conferences and requires a current PhD candidate with at least one publication in top-tier venues, proficiency in PyTorch, and strong theoretical understanding of deep learning and distributed systems.
What you'll do
- Publish in Tier-1 venues: Conduct novel research in Protocol Learning with the explicit goal of publishing in tier-1 ML conferences (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR).
- Own a real problem: Pick a question that blocks Protocol Learning at scale and answer it — the internship is scoped so a foundational paper is a realistic outcome, not a stretch goal.
