About California State University, Sacramento

Basic information and contact details for California State University, Sacramento

California State University-Sacramento (Sac State) was founded in 1947 and today this large, public university sits on a 305-acre campus in the city of Sacramento, the capital city of the state of California.

The university was established during the aftermath of the Second World War, at a time when there was a high demand for education in the Sacramento area.

Sac State started on a rented campus, moving to the current campus five years later.

Trees were planted at the new campus and today the university is home to more than 400 species of trees. With a total of 3,500 trees around the campus, the Arbor Dar Foundation designated Sac State a Tree Campus USA in 2012.

There are now seven academic colleges at Sac State, offering a combined total of 58 undergraduate majors. Nursing, criminal justice and psychology are the largest academic majors for undergraduates, while the chemistry program is the largest in the California State University system.

The north end of the Sac State campus is home to the majority of the student accommodation complexes as well as the 3-acre University Arboretum. Also on-campus are several research and community centers and the Sacramento State University Library, home to more than 1.4 volumes and the third largest library in the California State University system. Off-campus is the Sacramento State Aquatic Center, located next to the Nimbus Dam and home to the university rowing team.

Notable former students include world-famous actor Tom Hanks, jazz singer Bobby McFerrin, news anchor Lester Holt and television host Joan Lunden.

We are looking for a Research Engineer to join our MOE AcRF Tier 1 funded research project at the Singapore Institute of Technology. You will be part of an interdisciplinary team spanning accounting and NLP/AI, working to design, build, and validate a pipeline that detects inconsistencies and contradictions between firms' written financial filings (10-K/10-Q) and spoken earnings call transcripts. The role involves implementing retrieval-augmented natural language inference models and LLMs, processing large-scale financial text data, and supporting empirical analysis of contradiction scores.  Job Responsibilities Drive the technical execution of the research project under the guidance of the PI and Co-PI, ensuring project deliverables and timelines are met. Design and implement the retrieval-augmented NLI pipeline for inconsistency and contradiction detection across corporate disclosures (earnings call transcripts and SEC filings). Perform large-scale text preprocessing, cleaning, segmentation, and indexing of earnings call transcripts and financial filing corpora. Implement claims extraction modules using LLM-based approaches to identify key assertions from corporate disclosures. Build semantic retrieval mechanisms (e.g., Sentence-BERT embedding similarity search) for matching claim-context pairs across disclosure channels. Implement and evaluate contradiction detection models using NLI frameworks and LLM prompting techniques. Aggregate model outputs into firm-quarter level scores and prepare structured datasets for empirical analysis. Support human-in-the-loop validation by coordinating with student annotators and preparing annotation guidelines. Maintain reproducible research workflows using version control (Git) and systematic documentation of processes, code, and findings. Job Requirements Bachelor’s degree or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, or a closely related field. Strong programming skills in Python, with experience in relevant libraries such as HuggingFace Transformers, PyTorch/TensorFlow, and scikit-learn. Prior experience or coursework in natural language processing, machine learning, or information retrieval. Familiarity with version control tools (e.g., Git/GitHub) and collaborative development practices. Experience with financial data or financial text analysis will be advantageous. Familiarity with LLM APIs, prompt engineering, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) workflows will be advantageous. Good communication skills and ability to work both independently and collaboratively.
