About Wellesley College

Basic information and contact details for Wellesley College

institution

Wellesley College is a private liberal arts institution for women 15 miles inland from Boston, Massachusetts. One of the best liberal arts colleges in the country, Wellesley’s undergraduate teaching is recognised as being of a tremendously high standard.

Founded in 1870, five years before the first batch of students began their studies, it added academic programmes in a range of sciences in 1890, and there are now more than 56 courses to choose from in total.

Many of Wellesley’s original buildings were burnt down by a 1914 fire, but today’s campus is one of the most pleasant in the region. The college’s 500 acres are full of hills, open meadows and more than 1,000 plant species, and it has its own lake, Lake Waban.

The wealthy town of Wellesley is also the home of Babson College, an initially men-only institution which is now a coeducational business school that, along with Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is among the institutions Wellesley enjoys cross-registration programmes with.

Its illustrious array of alumni includes former US secretary of state and first lady Hillary Clinton, who secured the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016, and Madeleine Albright, one of Clinton’s predecessors as secretary of state whose appointment to the role by Hillary’s husband, Bill, made her the first woman to hold the office. Others include When Harry Met Sally… and Sleepless In Seattle screenwriter Nora Ephron.

The Role The role focuses on advancing research in explainable and trustworthy machine learning, with a particular emphasis on mechanistic interpretability and its application to healthcare data. The successful candidate will contribute to understanding how modern machine learning models represent information internally and how their predictions can be made transparent, reliable, and clinically meaningful. This work will involve developing and applying interpretability techniques to machine learning systems used in healthcare contexts, including tasks such as risk prediction, clinical decision support, and the analysis of complex biomedical datasets. The research environment is highly interdisciplinary, bringing together expertise from machine learning, statistics, data science, and healthcare research. The successful applicant will be expected to design and implement analytical and interpretability frameworks to investigate the internal representations and decision-making processes of machine learning models. This includes developing and applying techniques such as feature attribution, representation analysis, causal probing, and mechanistic circuit analysis. The postholder will also develop predictive models using modern deep learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch) and evaluate them with a focus on interpretability, robustness, and real-world applicability in healthcare settings. The role also involves developing reproducible research software and scalable data analysis pipelines in Python for machine learning and interpretability research. These tools will support systematic investigation of model behaviour and enable robust experimentation on large and complex datasets relevant to healthcare and biomedical research. The postholder will be expected to contribute actively to high-quality research outputs, including peer-reviewed publications in leading machine learning and interdisciplinary venues, open-source software tools, and collaborative research initiatives. The successful candidate will also contribute to the preparation and development of research grant proposals, supporting the group's strong track record of successful funding and helping to expand its research portfolio in explainable and trustworthy AI for healthcare.
