Artificial Intelligence Research Scientist - Senior Associate / Vice President / Executive Director

The goal of JPMorgan Artificial Intelligence Research is to explore and advance cutting edge research in Artificial Intelligence, including Machine Learning as well as related fields like Cryptography, to develop and discover principles of impact to JPMorgan's clients and businesses.

JPMorgan Artificial Intelligence Research has assembled a team of experts in many fields of Artificial Intelligence and security or safety. They pursue primary research in areas related to our research pillars as well as concrete problems related to financial services. They partner with internal teams to accelerate the adoption of Artificial Intelligence within the firm. They also work with leading academic faculty around the world on areas of mutual interest. The team is headquartered in New York and present in London and the Bay Area. Conducting Artificial Intelligence research in financial services offers unique and exciting opportunities for impact. As a member of this highly visible team, you will have the opportunity to realize significant impact not only within JPMorgan Chase but also to the broader Artificial Intelligence community.

Job Responsibilities :

• As a Research Scientist in the team, you will conduct end-to-end research typically within a specialized focus area.
• You will work on multiple research projects in collaboration with internal and external researchers and with applied engineering teams.
• You will be integral to all aspects of the research lifecycle such as formulating problems, gathering data, generating hypotheses, developing models and algorithms, conducting experiments, synthesizing results, building prototype applications and communicating the significance of your research.
• Your output will result in high-impact business applications, open source software, patents and/or publications in security/safety conferences and journals.
• As a member of the Artificial Intelligence and security/safety research community, you will also have the opportunity to participate in relevant top-tier academic conferences to broaden the impact of your contributions.

Required qualifications, capabilities and skills

• Master's degree with 3+ years of relevant work experience or PhD in Computer Science, Statistics, Engineering PhD in Computer Science or related fields, with a focus on security/safety
• Research publications in prominent security/safety venues, example conferences, journals.
• Expertise in one or more specialized areas of user-focused security/safety; for example: Sociotechnical aspects of Artificial Intelligence and security applications: e.g. Drivers of trust and technology adoption, assistive Artificial Intelligence.
