About the job

About Basis

Basis is a nonprofit organization dedicated to applied AI research, striving to achieve two interconnected objectives.

Firstly, we aim to understand and develop intelligence. This involves establishing the mathematical foundations of reasoning, learning, decision-making, comprehension, and explanation; along with creating software that embodies these principles.

Secondly, we seek to enhance society's capacity to address complex challenges. This means broadening the range, scale, and intricacies of the problems we can tackle today, while also accelerating our ability to solve future challenges.

To fulfill these missions, we are constructing a novel technological framework inspired by human reasoning, and fostering a collaborative organization that prioritizes human values.

About the Role

As a Research Scientist, you will spearhead Basis's initiatives to deepen our comprehension of the theoretical, mathematical, and computational aspects of intelligence.

We seek individuals with exceptional technical skills who are passionate about exploring concepts at their core. Our research scientists and engineers are committed to conducting rigorous, high-quality, and robust scientific inquiry, yet they embrace experimentation, learning from mistakes, and exploring innovative ideas to achieve their goals.

Basis thrives on collaboration, both internally and with external partners; thus, we value team players who relish tackling challenges that surpass individual capabilities.

Research Focus

Our research under the MARA project is dedicated to forging new principles and technologies for modeling, abstraction, and reasoning in AI systems. The primary aim of MARA is to reveal principled methodologies for how intelligence constructs, refines, and applies world models through interactive experimentation.

For this position, we specifically seek experts in Reinforcement Learning & Planning who can push the boundaries of model-based RL, exploration strategies, optimal control, and Bayesian optimization. You will develop agents capable of learning efficient policies in intricate, partially observable environments by utilizing structured world models.
