I'm hiring for a machine learning data scientist & research assistant for summer 2025! This role will be working on a project on invasive species management, by predicting species risk and planning capture strategies. This work will be in partnership with an innovative startup that is working directly to capture environmentally destructive invasive species in the US. We'll work with a US-based conservation partner to build predictive machine learning models and design harvest strategies for the removal of invasive animal species. The primary goal is to develop usable ML models and optimization tools to inform practical environmental decision-making on the ground. There will also be opportunities to extend this work into a research publication for a top-tier AI venue. Paid, part-time position for summer 2025, with possibility to extend.
Hi Dr. Xu, is this a remote position?

Hi Lily, This project sounds truly inspiring! I’m deeply passionate about applying machine learning to real-world challenges, particularly in the field of sustainability, and this work beautifully combines both. I’ve just submitted my application and would be excited for the chance to contribute to such meaningful research this summer. Thank you for creating opportunities like this!
