The Artificial Scientific Intelligence Lab (ASI Lab) at the National University of Singapore is inviting applications for PhD positions (January 2027 intake) in the field of machine learning for science and fundamental machine learning. The lab, led by Assistant Professor Dianbo Liu, focuses on developing advanced machine learning methods that enable AI systems to autonomously conduct scientific research. Research areas include automatic AI evolution, creativity, and discovery engines, with applications in generative models and biomedical sciences.

The ASI Lab is committed to pushing the boundaries of AI for the benefit of humanity, with a mission to create systems capable of independent scientific discovery. The team has a strong interdisciplinary background, with previous affiliations including the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, Mila-Quebec AI Institute, and Harvard Medical School. The lab welcomes applicants who are passionate about AI, machine learning, and their applications in science.

Applicants should have a solid background in computer science, machine learning, or related disciplines. Experience with fundamental machine learning methods is preferred. Candidates must satisfy the National University of Singapore's PhD admission requirements. The lab encourages creative thinkers and those interested in advancing autonomous scientific research.
