Job Description

AI Staff Scientist

Collaborate with Innovative 3Mers Around the World

Choosing where to start and grow your career has a major impact on your professional and personal life, so it’s equally important you know that the company that you choose to work at, and its leaders, will support and guide you. With a wide variety of people, global locations, technologies and products, 3M is a place where you can collaborate with other curious, creative 3Mers.

This position provides an opportunity to transition from other private, public, government or military experience to a 3M career.

The Impact You’ll Make in this Role

As an AI Staff Scientist in 3M’s Corporate R&D organization, you will work on a small, deeply technical team developing foundational methods for always-on learning systems that reason, experiment, and adapt in complex, non-stationary environments. This role exists because learning systems that do not actively preserve identifiability, causal validity, and epistemic calibration fail in principle—not merely in performance.

You will collaborate closely with researchers across statistics, cognitive science, and machine learning to design systems in which experimentation, inference, and uncertainty are first-class components of the learning process itself.

Here you will make an impact by

• Developing computational symbolic representation systems for general use
• Designing, implementing and maintaining research code for a language interface for computational symbolic representation systems
• Working from whiteboards, research discussions, and evolving specifications – not fixed product requirements or static datasets
• Collaborating with interdisciplinary researchers to stress-test experimental learning mechanisms under realistic, adversarial conditions

Your Skills and Expertise

To set you up for success in this role from day one, 3M requires (at a minimum) the following qualifications:

* Ph.D. in Infor...
