AI Multimodal Foundation Model Internship

We are looking for passionate and autonomous PhD students who are within one or two years of their PhD graduation date to contribute to our innovative projects in the field of the multimodal foundation models for LLM, image, and clinical data analysis. The students will work with a dynamic team who are pushing the boundaries of AI machine learning in the healthcare domain and building real-world products.  The students will research best practices for data curation/preparation and training of our state-of-the-art foundation models and address some of the hardest problems in computer science.  Our internships are designed to be either a summer or a yearlong program based on the company’s needs and the candidate’s desires.  Join us and build a rewarding career while making a significant impact on the future of healthcare and patient well-being.
