Machine Learning Fellow - Human Frontier Collective (UK)

Job description

About the Collective The Human Frontier Collective (HFC) ’s mission is to bring the world's best minds to shape the future of AI – because the future of AI depends not only on powerful models, but on the people who teach them to think. We bring together researchers, academics, and domain leaders across 70+ fields – over 90% of members hold doctorates – to shape how frontier AI systems are built, evaluated, and governed. HFC members have since co-authored published work including SciPredict , PropensityBench , and Professional Reasoning Benchmark . Why join the HFC HFC centers on three core pillars: the network itself, participation in selected AI/ML projects, and opportunities to publish with our research team. Join a unique and exclusive expert network: You’ll become a part of an interdisciplinary community, consisting of over 90% doctorates and field leaders representing 70+ fields from the leading institutions. We’re a collective of top innovators and thought leaders committed to advancing frontier AI to power the world’s most important decisions. Participate in AI/ML projects: Beyond the collective network, you’ll be regularly invited to work on high-impact projects with Scale AI and its affiliated lab and platform: building AI safety and policy guardrails, helping models understand real-world deep learning workflows by designing, reviewing, and optimizing PyTorch models, evaluating complex ML code and AI-generated implementations for efficiency and correctness, and more. Co-author selected research publications: Collaborate with Scale’s research team to co-author technical reports and research papers—boosting your academic visibility and professional recognition. Who should apply Background : PhD, or postdoctoral research experience, in Machine Learning, Computer Science, or a related field; or senior industry experience in Machine Learning or a related field. Skills : Strong proficiency in Python and modern ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow). Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS) and MLOps tools (Docker) and LLM frameworks (LangChain) is a plus. Professional Mindset : Detail-oriented, innovative thinker with a passion for applied AI research and a commitment to collaboration. How it works Duration : This is a fully remote opportunity with no fixed end date; engagements continue as long as there's mutual interest. This is a 1099 independent contr…
