AI / Machine Learning Rsearch intern (x/f/m)

We are looking for an M2 Intern to join the PreMeDICaL team at Inria Montpellier.

As an M2 Intern, your mission will be to work on developing causal frameworks to evaluate artificial intelligence in medical contexts. This 6-month internship offers the opportunity to continue with a 3-year PhD position. The PreMeDICaL team is an Inria-Inserm research unit based in Montpellier, developing statistical and machine learning methods for precision medicine, in close collaboration with machine learning researchers and clinicians.

This research project is conducted in collaboration with Doctolib, Europe's leading healthcare technology platform.

In healthcare, AI systems never operate in isolation—clinical decisions remain under human authority. This creates complex dynamics between AI systems and healthcare professionals. You will investigate the causal mechanisms underlying these human-AI interactions, where AI predictions influence clinician decisions and, consequently, patient outcomes.

Your responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Developing causal frameworks to evaluate AI beyond accuracy, using data from randomized trials and observational cohorts
• Analyzing how AI predictions influence clinical decisions and patient outcomes in real-world medical contexts
• Collaborating on concrete use cases
• Contributing to theoretical research on performative learning and policy learning in the context of AI deployment
• Publishing your results in top-tier scientific conferences and journals

Who you are

Before you read on: if you don't have the exact profile described below, but you feel this job description matches your skill set, we still encourage you to apply.

• You have a solid foundation in machine learning and statistical inference
• You are interested in medical applications and the real-world impact of AI in healthcare
• You are fluent in English (written and spoken) for scientific publications
• You have a rigorous approach to research and an appetite for interdisciplinary collaboration

Now it would be fantastic if you:

• Have knowledge of causal inference
• Have experience in machine learning or medical data analysis
• Are familiar with scientific programming (Python, R)
