Toyota Ventures is Toyota’s first standalone early-stage venture capital firm.
About the role
We are seeking a highly motivated and talented PhD research intern to join our adaptive behavior systems team to push the boundaries of causal reasoning in LLMs. The intern will collaborate with our interdisciplinary team of machine learning, behavioral, and social scientists to study how well language-based generative machine learning models can reason causally and to develop methods for testing and improving causal reasoning.
What they're looking for
- Ph.D. student in related fields - AI/ML, computer science, data science, statistics, or related field
- Publication record or demonstrated research experience in causal inference (structural causal models, identification, counterfactual reasoning)
- Experience with Python programming and DL frameworks like Pytorch
- Interest in human-centered research (e.g. behavioral science, computational social science), including qualitative and/or quantitative methods such as experiments and user studies
- Excellent communication and teamwork skills
