The Amazon Postdoctoral Science Program provides recent PhD graduates with a formal avenue to gain industry experience, apply their subject matter expertise, and gain mentorship from established Amazon scientists. Postdoctoral scientists will explore new research ideas, accelerate scientific innovation and impact, and publish their work in peer-reviewed scientific literature.

The program is designed for individuals who received their PhD in the past two years and want to gain industry experience. The program advances postdoctoral scientists’ career development through industry exposure, publishing research, and mentorship from the Amazon Science community.

“This program provides an excellent and fun opportunity to work on cutting-edge customer-obsessed research and learn from and collaborate with some of the brightest researchers and leading experts at Amazon,” said Sareh Nabi, a postdoctoral scientist in Amazon Ads who is participating in a postdoc pilot program. “It also provides a great platform to take the skillset I learned and apply it to a wide range of real-world applications on a large scale.”

“This is an opportunity for outstanding researchers to work with us on our hardest scientific challenges,” said Jeremy Wyatt, senior manager of Amazon Robotics AI. “Amazon postdoctoral scientists will pursue exploratory work on our hardest problems, gaining industry experience and publishing the results in the best scientific venues.”
