Machine Learning Research Intern

Read the full description before applying.

MUST HAVE: Hands-on experience building and training deep learning architectures (Transformers, CNNs, U-Net), clinical electronic health records (EHR) and/or imaging data.

At M31 Biomedical AI, we are redefining how artificial intelligence understands human health and biology. Our models power universal segmentation and imaging analysis across multiple medical modalities to uncover new biological and clinical insights.

We’re seeking a full-time Research Intern to support biomedical AI research involving clinical EHR (labs, flowsheets, clinical notes) and imaging data (histopathology and radiology). The role will involve running experiments with large-scale foundation models. You’ll be working with a diverse team of AI researchers, clinicians, and computational biologists to explore how deep learning can advance personalized medicine and healthcare for patients.

This position is ideal for someone passionate about biomedical AI, multi-modal data, and collaborative, high-impact research.

What You’ll Do

Review and debug code for training deep learning models and running experiments

Conduct literature search to develop detailed in-depth technical summaries of SOTA deep learning architecture

Collaborate with research partners to collect, preprocess, and harmonize structured and unstructured clinical data, pathology and radiology images.

Work closely with data scientists and clinicians to ensure scientific and clinical relevance

Discover, validate and implement new AI tools to improve workflow efficiency

Document and maintain reproducible workflows using Git, Python, and cloud-based tools

Contribute to publications, internal reports, and presentations summarizing key findings

Create clear, compelling presentations and visualizations that translate highly technical results for both clinical and technical audiences

Why Join Us

Be part of a leading biomedical imaging AI company recognized for its foundational work in universal segmentation

Collaborate with top academic and hospital research teams on cutting-edge multi-modal AI projects

Gain exposure to large, high-quality datasets spanning medical imaging and clinical data

Work in a mission-driven environment that bridges scientific research and real-world healthcare impact

Enjoy flexible work arrangements, mentorship, and opportunities for authorship and recognition

Required Skills & Background

Undergraduate degree or currently pursuing a master’s or PhD (or equivalent experience) in Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, Biomedical Engineering, Computational Biology or a related field

Strong programming experience in Python and ML frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, MONAI)

Strong understanding of deep learning architecture (Transformers, CNNs, U-Net)

Background in analyzing biomedical or life science data

Understanding of at least one of the following domains:

Clinical data (EHR, laboratory results, disease outcomes)

Experience with data management, reproducibility, and collaborative code development

Excellent problem-solving, communication, and teamwork skills

Nice-to-Have

Experience with foundation models or large-scale pretraining

Biomedical domain knowledge (disease pathophysiology, human anatomy, cellular biology)

Experience with agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Codex)

Previous work involving multi-institutional datasets

Publication record in AI, biomedical imaging, or computational biology

Application Requirements

Resume/CV

Cover letter describing your experience and motivation for working on patient-centric clinical foundation models

GitHub portfolio or publications (optional but encouraged)
