Machine Learning Research Intern

Our mission at Curai is to make high-quality healthcare accessible to all. We are fulfilling this audacious mission by building a virtual-first primary care service. Blending high-touch clinical care augmented with artificial intelligence, we are building a scalable primary care model that provides patients with quality care anytime, anywhere, from their mobile phones at a very affordable price. 

Our company is remote-first and we consider candidates across the United States.

Machine Learning Research Internships at Curai

To achieve our mission, we took a long-term view and established a strong research culture to propel innovation in telehealth primary care. A significant aspect of our culture, and arguably unique for a startup, is our commitment to open research (peer-reviewed publications). Our recent collaborators include faculty and students from Stanford, NYU, MIT, Georgia Tech, MGH, and Vanderbilt University. 

Our current research focuses on medical NLP (e.g., medical dialogs, summarization) and clinical decision-making (e.g., medical diagnosis). These areas require research in fundamental problems in AI/ML, including modeling long-tail data distributions, semi-supervised/active learning strategies, low-shot learning, self-supervision, language models, and incorporating medical knowledge as priors.

We are looking for a research intern on our research team. We support research interns by pairing them 1-1 with a researcher mentor. We choose exploratory research projects that have the potential to impact our product and align with research interests of the intern and the mentor. Our mission drives team members, and we play a vital role in influencing our company's technical/ML direction for hybrid ML-practitioner primary care.
