Job Description

We are looking for a research engineer the National University of Singapore (NUS) to support a project in the broad area of AI and machine learning.

You will help define the best achievable limits of Symbolic Regression (SR), which is a powerful modern machine learning technique. You will lead the algorithmic pillar of this project, developing high-performance software to conduct large-scale searches and benchmark empirical bounds. This work is critical for explainable AI (XAI) and AI for Science, moving beyond black box models to discover interpretable mathematical laws.

Key Responsibilities:
. Scale: Build and manage pipelines for large-scale exhaustive model searches.
. Benchmark: Execute rigorous hyperparameter tuning and performance benchmarking.
. Deploy: Assist in applying SR-informed models to real-world healthcare and scientific datasets.
. Open Science: Curate and release large-scale research datasets to the global community.

Qualifications

Technical Skills
. Coding: Proficiency in Python (NumPy, Pandas, Scikit-learn). Knowledge of C++ or SymPy is a major plus.
. Machine Learning: Strong grasp of ML fundamentals (generalization, loss functions). Experience with SR libraries (e.g., PySR, gplearn) is highly preferred.
. Systems: Experience running experiments on HPC clusters or cloud environments.
. Documentation: Ability to use LaTeX for technical reporting.

Qualifications
. Education: Degree in CS, Electrical Engineering, Math, or Physics.
. Analytical: Comfortable with mathematical theory (bounds, stability) and data-driven discovery.
. Proactive: Able to bridge the gap between theoretical research and scalable software engineering.

Candidate must be open to fixed term contract.
