Research Scientist, Learning & Cognitive Outcomes

ABOUT THE ROLE As a Research Scientist focused on Learning & Cognitive Outcomes, you will help build the scientific and evaluation infrastructure needed to understand how AI systems affect learning, cognition, and capability development over time. We are looking for someone who can design rigorous studies, develop scalable evaluation methods, and help answer a central question: do AI systems help people become more capable over time? This means going beyond engagement, satisfaction, or task completion to measure whether users develop better reasoning, stronger metacognition, greater autonomy, deeper understanding, improved transfer, and more durable skills. This role sits at the intersection of learning science, cognitive science, experimental design, LLM evaluation, and applied product research. You will help develop cognitive outcome measures, design and manage RCTs and field studies, build classifiers and graders, guide external research partners, and translate findings into model and product improvements. The initial focus of this work will include young users and education settings, while contributing to a broader research agenda on how AI affects cognition and capability deve...
