AI Researcher – AI Index R&D

The AI Index R&D team is part of MSCI’s broader Index Research and Development organization, driving innovation through the integration of artificial intelligence and data science into index research, construction, and delivery. We work closely with Data & AI, Index Engineering, and Index Product teams to explore how large language models (LLMs), retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and agentic systems can transform how MSCI designs, evaluates, and communicates index methodologies.

Requirements

• Design and develop advanced AI systems leveraging LLMs, RAG, and agentic architectures to enhance index research, methodology interpretation, and automation.
• Prototype and validate new AI concepts, translating research ideas into working, production-ready solutions.
• Integrate and optimize AI workflows with data systems such as Snowflake, ClickHouse, and internal APIs to enable scalable and intelligent automation.
• Develop and maintain testing, evaluation, and quality-control frameworks to ensure reliability and transparency of AI-generated outputs.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Index R&D, Data & AI, and Engineering teams to ensure alignment between AI innovation and business priorities.
• Explore emerging technologies in LLM orchestration, multi-agent reasoning, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) to identify and adopt best practices for MSCI’s AI ecosystem.
• Contribute to the evolution of MSCI’s AI Index framework, helping define standards, governance, and deployment practices for responsible AI in index research.
