Experimental AI Researcher (Volunteer)
Asycd's Research Lab is a rebellious, exploratory space where early-career AI enthusiasts collaborate on experimental projects in generative AI, prompt engineering, and agentic systems. We run in 3-month sprint cycles, selecting a small cohort of researchers to push boundaries, test ideas, and refine their own reasoning in real time.
This is not a job. It's a structured, educational research experience designed to empower curious minds and creative technologists.
What You'll Explore
AI Agents: Long‐term memory, self‐evaluating reasoning, personalized cognitive profiles, and autonomous discovery engines.
Software Engineering for AI: Multimodal conversational systems, closed‐loop software evolution, and advanced vector/cloud infrastructure for scalable agents.
Applications of AI: Transforming industries such as finance, healthcare, content, and operations while exploring emerging domains where AI can spark entirely new breakthroughs.

The Application Process
- Initial Application
Submit an updated CV. A cover letter is optional but welcome if it helps you express your interests or creative perspective.
- Research Proposal + Interview
Shortlisted applicants will be invited to develop a one‐page research proposal based on one of our suggested themes—or a topic of your own that aligns with the Lab's ethos. You'll then discuss your proposal with our team in a conversational interview focused on curiosity, clarity, and creative reasoning.
