title: "Announcing the 🤗 AI Research Residency Program"
description: "Hugging Face launched a nine-month Research Residency Program designed to train participants into impactful machine learning researchers. Residents collaborate directly with researchers from the Science Team to formulate research questions, develop novel machine learning techniques, and openly publish their findings. The initiative specifically encourages proposals from marginalized groups—including women, LGBTQ+ individuals, people of color, and working-class communities—to address disparities exacerbated by artificial intelligence progress. Applicants must demonstrate mathematical and programming abilities through coursework, open-source projects, and end-to-end proposals targeting positive societal impact. The full-time role is fully remote, provides benefits including medical coverage depending on location, and excludes concurrent student enrollment or employment."

**Type:** Announcement

## Summary

Hugging Face launched a nine-month Research Residency Program designed to train participants into impactful machine learning researchers. Residents collaborate directly with researchers from the Science Team to formulate research questions, develop novel machine learning techniques, and openly publish their findings. The initiative specifically encourages proposals from marginalized groups—including women, LGBTQ+ individuals, people of color, and working-class communities—to address disparities exacerbated by artificial intelligence progress. Applicants must demonstrate mathematical and programming abilities through coursework, open-source projects, and end-to-end proposals targeting positive societal impact. The full-time role is fully remote, provides benefits including medical coverage depending on location, and excludes concurrent student enrollment or employment.

## Context

Progress in the machine learning field has the potential to exacerbate existing disparities that disproportionately affect marginalized groups, including people of color, people from working-class backgrounds, women, and LGBTQ+ individuals.

## Approach / What changed

Hugging Face established a 9-month, full-time remote AI Research Residency Program where participants partner with the Science Team to identify research questions, build machine learning techniques, and openly publish findings with positive societal impact.

## Takeaways

- The AI Research Residency is a 9-month, full-time, fully remote program that includes benefits such as medical coverage depending on location.
- Applicants cannot participate while enrolled as university students or working for other employers during the residency duration.
- Applications require demonstration of programming and mathematical skills, such as calculus or linear algebra, via coursework or open-source projects.
