Come work at Elucid and be part of delivering on our mission to prevent heart attacks and strokes!\nThis role is hybrid and based out of our Boston office, open to local PhD candidates.\nAs a leader in cardiac CT imaging, we’re exploring how large language models (LLMs) and vision-language models (VLMs) can improve patient outcomes, make life easier for clinicians and analysts, and even power entirely new products. We’re looking for a motivated PhD-level intern to help us find out. You’ll design, build, and evaluate LLM/VLM agents and workflows, and create proofs-of-concept for real applications of these foundation models. Your work may have the opportunity to join our existing product suite or brand-new standalone product, or lead to publication with our team. If you’re excited to bring foundation model research into clinical care, this is a great opportunity to work at the intersection of innovation and commercial application.\nThis is a part-time internship (with the option for more full-time hours) starting in January 2027, with at least two in-office days a week on Monday and Wednesday. Our sunny, spacious office is located in the heart of Boston, next to Boston Common.\nThis is a role for someone who is a:\nPhD student in Machine Learning, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, with a focus on foundation models and an interest in healthcare technology.\nSelf-driven researcher who has owned projects from idea to result and enjoys turning ambitious concepts into working proofs-of-concept.\nClear communicator who works well on a team, partnering with engineers, project managers, and clinical staff.\nWith these skills and experiences:Hands-on experience with Python/PyTorch and tools such as PEFT/LoRA, HuggingFace, or LangGraph (or similar) for model development, fine-tuning, and agentic workflows (AWS experience with EC2, S3, or SageMaker is a plus).\nExperience with image data and complex datasets (multimodal, richly labeled, or requiring substantial preprocessing). Biomedical or volumetric data like DICOMs is a plus, and cardiovascular imaging is best of all.\nSubstantial publications in the domain of LLMs or VLMs preferred.\nExperience with human-in-the-loop training, RLHF, or tools like nnInteractive and experience working in an FDA-regulated environment are a plus.\n Salary: $60-$65/hour for up to an estimated 20 hours a week.----------------------------------------------------\nAt Elucid, we believe the best work happens in a flexible hybrid environment. Boston-area employees are encouraged to work from the office on Mondays and Wednesdays, with the option to come in additional days if they prefer. Fully remote employees outside the Boston area come in as needed.\nWe are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at Elucid. We do not discriminate based on race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability.\nWe understand that self-doubt can sometimes prevent great candidates from applying. If you believe you can make an impact at Elucid, even if you don’t meet every qualification, we encourage you to apply!","description_format":"text","description_chars":3393,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"phd","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Medical Imaging Systems","Medical AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-06T16:06:48Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":27,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-11-09T06:03:00Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":130000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/elucid-machine-learning-phd-intern-spring-2027-elucid","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/elucid-machine-learning-phd-intern-spring-2027-elucid.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-10T03:06:49Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":7236,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-11T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":177945},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=177945"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Felucid-machine-learning-phd-intern-spring-2027-elucid"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Felucid-machine-learning-phd-intern-spring-2027-elucid"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Felucid-machine-learning-phd-intern-spring-2027-elucid"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/elucid-machine-learning-phd-intern-spring-2027-elucid\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Felucid-machine-learning-phd-intern-spring-2027-elucid"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3875362}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"elucid.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3875362},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
