Research Scientist, Human AI Interaction

As a Research Scientist, Human–AI Interaction, you will play a pivotal role in defining how AI systems support real human work by leading research at the intersection of Human–Computer Interaction (HCI), Large Language Models (LLMs), and task-level benchmarking. You will operate at the frontier of human-centered AI evaluation, with a focus on understanding what people actually do to accomplish meaningful work—and how AI systems change, accelerate, or reshape that activity. Your research will define jobs-to-be-done benchmarks, comparative evaluation frameworks, and empirical methods for measuring human effort, time, quality, and outcomes when working with AI copilots. Additionally, the Handshake AI platform is an interface used by thousands of the top subject matter experts in the world to evaluate AI systems, and offers numerous interesting HCI / HITL-AI research questions that will drive large business impact. You’ll set research direction, establish standards for measuring human activity in AI-mediated workflows, publish papers and open-source code, and lead the development of rigorous, scalable benchmarks that connect human work, AI assistance, and real economic value.
