What You'll Do

About the AISI Fellowship 

The Boston Consulting Group’s AI Science Institute (AISI) is launching a postdoctoral fellowship program designed to empower the next generation of applied science leaders. This elite, industry-adjacent program offers PhDs and early-career scientists the opportunity to work on some of the world’s most complex and high-impact scientific problems using cutting-edge AI, in collaboration with top-tier partners across aerospace, healthcare, energy, and materials science. 

Fellows will operate at the intersection of foundational research, real-world deployment, and strategic impact, helping shape breakthrough workstreams with AISI partners. 

Unlike traditional academic or big-tech postdocs, AISI fellows work on problems where the science, the data, and the deployment context are all partially undefined. Fellows are expected not only to advance models or methods, but to shape problem formulation, data strategy, and downstream impact alongside senior scientists, engineers, and industry leaders. 

What You'll Bring

• Lead or contribute to multi-disciplinary research initiatives that apply machine learning, simulation, optimization, or GenAI to real-world scientific domains.
• Collaborate with BCG X teams and external stakeholders, including scientists, engineers, business leaders, to frame and solve complex technical problems. 
• Author internal and external research outputs, with opportunities to publish in top journals or co-develop IP with partners.
• Design reproducible, scalable workflows that translate state-of-the-art models into practical tools for discovery and experimentation. 
• Serve as a scientific ambassador across AISI projects, bringing rigor, creativity, and a passion for impact.
• Engage directly, as appropriate, with client or partner R&D teams to translate research insights into deployable solutions, with support from senior BCG X leaders. 
• Contribute to AISI priority research themes, which may include (illustrative, non-exhaustive):  
  • AI-accelerated materials discovery and optimization
  • Scientific foundation models (biology, chemistry, climate, or physical systems)
  • Simulation-augmented learning (e.g., physics-informed ML, RL + simulators)
  • Compute-enabling technologies (chip design, process optimization, algorithm–hardware co-design)
  • Quantum algorithms and hybrid classical–quantum workflows 

Who You'll Work With

Program Details

• Duration: 24 months, with possibility of transition into full-time role at BCG X.
• Mentorship: Each fellow will be paired with a senior advisor and a technical/scientific lead from BCG X and a partner institution. 
• Resources: Full access to BCG’s infrastructure, compute resources, research datasets, and partner ecosystems. 
• Compensation: Competitive salary aligned with industry postdoc benchmarks, plus support for publishing, conference travel, and IP generation. Fellows are encouraged to publish in top-tier venues unless constrained by client confidentiality or strategic IP considerations; in such cases, alternative external-facing research outputs (e.g., methods papers, open-source tools, or delayed publications) will be supported. 

What Success Looks Like

By Month 6 

• Leading or co-leading a defined AISI research workstream
• Delivering models, methods, or code integrated into an active project
• Establishing a clear publication and/or IP trajectory identified

By Month 12 

• Producing at least one external-facing research output, such as a paper, preprint, workshop, or open-source contribution. 
• Being recognized internally as a go-to contributor in a priority scientific domain.
• Actively collaborating with at least one external partner or client R&D team.

By Month 24 

• Delivering multiple high-quality research outputs and/or patented IP.
• Establishing a clear path to a permanent role at BCG X or strong placement into a top-tier industry or research position. 

Additional info

Why Join AISI?

•  Work on projects that matter from geospatial intelligence to drug discovery to next-gen material discovery. 
• Collaborate with leading researchers, product builders, and Fortune 500 clients shaping the frontier of AI-assisted scientific discovery.
• Design and explore high-upside ideas that align with your research vision and AISI’s strategic priorities.
• Help build the foundational talent model for AISI as it scales into a global scientific innovation engine.

What This Fellowship Is Not 

• A traditional academic postdoc with a single PI and a narrowly defined research agenda.
• A consulting role focused on slide production or short-term delivery.
• A pure ML engineering role detached from scientific problem-solving. 

How to Apply 

• Submit your Resume/CV and a 1–2 page statement of interest attached to it (research background, domains of interest, and why AISI) 
• Share any relevant links to publications, code, or personal projects
