Senior Research Scientist

About The Role

We are seeking a talented, driven, and experienced Senior Research Scientist to join us in defining the future of AI + human healthcare. As a Research Scientist at Counsel Health, you will bridge the gap between fundamental research and product innovation. You will set up large-scale tests, deploy promising ideas quickly, and apply the latest theories to develop new and improved health-focused AI products.

From creating experiments and prototyping implementations to designing new architectures, you will work on real-world problems that span the breadth of computer science—including machine learning, natural language processing, and agentic systems—while collaborating closely with our clinical and engineering teams.

What You'll Be Working On

- Model Evaluation: Evaluate AI models on relevant clinical tasks using both automated benchmarks and human-based assessments to ensure safety and efficacy.

- Drive Research Impact: Write research papers to share findings and demonstrate impact across the team and the broader research community.

- Build Health-AI Models: Build end-to-end health-focused AI models, including pre-training and post-training workflows, specifically tailored for clinical environments.

- Create Novel Agentic Systems: Build agentic systems for both our patients and physicians. For example, you might build a system that pre-drafts prescriptions for the physician based on a user’s presenting complaint, their past medical history and the suspected diagnosis.

- Prototype & Simulate: Develop prototypes or run simulations to assess research impact, finalize hypotheses, and refine methodologies.

- Knowledge Sharing: Help grow the research culture across teams by sharing research trends and practices within the community.

Requirements

- Advanced Degree: PhD degree in Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

- Technical Expertise: Experience in coding with Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, or R....
