Research Scientist Intern -Artificial Intelligence

IBM Research Africa is looking for a Ph.D-level intern to join their AI research group which is exploring foundational models and anomalous pattern detection techniques. Foundational models are flexible, re-useable models that can be applied to many downstream tasks. These models are set to replace the task-specific models that have been in place for the past decade. AI Researchers at the Africa lab are studying the inner representation space of these large models to better measure the quality of generated content.

Required Technical and Professional Expertise

Applicants Should Meet The Following Criteria:

• Currently enrolled in a Ph.D program from an accredited university in quantitative fields such as Computer Science, Machine Learning, Statistics, Physics, Information Systems
• Demonstrable interest in anomalous pattern detection and foundational model applications
• 4 years coding experience with scientific Python stack (numpy, scipy, pandas, matplotlib, etc.)
• Availability to relocate to Nairobi, Kenya for the duration of the internship
