Lead Research Data Scientist, Learning Frontiers

Job description

info_outline About the job The Learning Frontiers team drives educational impact by bridging foundational AI research with pedagogy-driven product experiences. We aim to graduate successful pedagogical prototypes into primary Google surfaces - such as Gemini, Search, YouTube, and NotebookLM - to support the learner’s journey. To evolve these approaches, we need to develop measures of successful learning, especially in situations when traditional engagement metrics (like clicks) may conflict with the desirable friction required for deep learning.

As a Data Scientist on the Learning Frontiers team, you will dive deep into our logs to identify educational intent, help define user personas, and evaluate experiments that test our pedagogical hypotheses. This role requires a balance of rigorous analysis and creative problem-solving as you help us navigate data gaps and build the "connective tissue" between our research goals and our product surfaces. This is a unique chance to join our multidisciplinary team of Product Managers, Program Managers, User Experience, Learning Science specialists, and Engineers and work on cutting-edge AI capabilities, building new features from the ground up.
