The NYU McSilver Institute for Poverty Policy and Research (https://mcsilver.nyu.edu/) is committed to creating new knowledge about the root causes of poverty, developing evidence-based interventions to address its consequences, and rapidly translating research findings into action through policy and best practices.

We are seeking to recruit a machine learning engineer to join our AI Hub. The AI Hub at McSilver has been established to investigate how artificial intelligence-driven systems can be used to equitably address poverty and challenges relating to race and public health, and to provide thought leadership on the implications. At the AI Hub, we are developing a modern ML stack to enable more efficient, equitable, and accessible data analysis for public health research and policy. We have a collaborative team of developers, data scientists, and public health researchers dedicated to leveraging AI/ML for positive impact through public health solutions that better serve underrepresented and marginalized groups.

Reporting to the Assistant Director for Research, the Machine Learning Engineer will join our ongoing efforts to build public interest technology. As a member of our software development team collaborating directly with our research team, you will apply software engineering and machine learning to large public health datasets including observational, longitudinal, survey, and text data. Your goal will be to build high-performing, secure, robust, and responsible ML systems to help make data analysis tools for our suicide prevention and other public health initiatives.
