Opportunities at RegLab
Stanford RegLab is hiring! Come join a diverse, interdisciplinary, and highly motivated group to drive change in technology, data science, and government!
Recent high-profile work includes work on machine learning and demographic disparities in IRS audits (New York Times story), an award-winning collaboration for pandemic preparedness and public health (description here and Wall Street Journal story), pioneering work on satellite imagery for environmental protection (Scientific American story), modernization of social safety net systems (Department of Labor background here), AI tools for legal reform (Politico story), and extensive policy work on AI governance (Senate testimony here).
We hire for a range of positions throughout the year, including data scientist, policy analyst, postdoc, and predoctoral research fellow. If you are interested in getting involved, please submit your materials through our general interest form here. We review all submissions to our job postings and general interest form, but regret that we are not able to respond to direct inquiries. Thank you for understanding!
Research Assistants
We are almost always looking for motivated and engaged students who would like to use their skills to work on pressing social issues. Graduate, professional, and advanced undergraduate students with training in machine learning, data science, causal inference, and statistics are especially encouraged to reach out. Our preference is to support well-aligned direct research, thesis, or practicum projects by offering course credit. We may also have a limited number of paid research assistantships available each quarter. Please reach out through the general interest form with a brief cover note, CV, transcript, and a writing/code sample.
Postdoctoral Scholar
We invite applications for a postdoctoral scholar focused on the intersection of machine learning/AI, environmental science, and public policy. We are seeking candidates with experience applying computer vision to environmental challenges – particularly those who bring domain expertise in climate change, concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs), aquaculture, or related systems. Familiarity with industry practices, regulatory frameworks, and strategies for effective mitigation is welcome but not required. Please reach out through the general interest form.
