Key skills for this role
Datasets in many areas, science in particular, are often small, heterogeneous, and expensive. Human scientists can take these datasets and generate models to describe them, but this process of model induction is labor-intensive and error-prone. Machine learning is a general and scalable solution, but it is not uniformly sample efficient.
The Astera Institute is seeking a Machine Learning Researcher to help surmount this barrier with new architectures for data-efficient and general model induction. This includes bootstrapped program synthesis, along with components for a system that synthesizes its own learning algorithms - a machine learning strange loop. This is a full time position that reports to Timothy Hanson.

Astera Institute is a new kind of research organization that operates outside the constraints of markets or academia, and is itself an experiment in how research organizations can move faster, take smarter risks, and create lasting public goods. Our key programs include:
Our Residency is a one to two-year program that supports extraordinary scientists who are producing public goods. We support not only residents’ salaries, but also budgets for them to hire a team and meet other needs to accelerate their work.
Radial supports biotechnology-focused projects and is redefining how science should be done.
Obelisk does fundamental research in Artificial General Intelligence to ensure it brings good to humanity.
Astera is uniquely positioned to shape the course of rapid scientific and technological innovation because of:
A $2.5B endowment, which we intend to deploy boldly rather than preserve in perpetuity.
A small, agile team: We are staffed much more leanly than other foundations, and aim to keep bureaucracy as minimal as possible. It's more accurate to think of us as a startup than a traditional foundation.
High risk tolerance: We take an experimental approach to our programming that means we expect projects to fail with some frequency.
Disinterest in consensus: we add value by supporting projects, programs, and people that other organizations can’t or won’t.
Nonprofit research institute funding and conducting neuroscience, AI, and life-sciences projects for transformative scientific progress.
