ByteDance Seed launches a 100-person STEM scientist program for AI-driven research
数字生命卡兹克 · wechat · 2026-07-23
ByteDance Seed has launched a STEM Scientist Program and plans to invite 100 researchers from frontier science fields to work with its AI team for an initial six-month period.
The program targets researchers in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, materials science, and related areas. Participants can join as scientific advisors or as PhD interns, with compute resources, joint large-scale AI-driven research, and competitive compensation provided by Seed. The post frames this as part of a broader trend: top AI labs are increasingly attracting scientists from outside traditional AI, because AI is becoming a shared foundation across disciplines.
