Earlier this spring, Amazon notified grant applicants that they were recipients of the 2019 Amazon Research Awards, a grant program that provides up to $80,000 in cash and $20,000 in AWS Promotional Credits to academic researchers investigating topics across 11 focus areas. Today, we’re publicly announcing the 51 award recipients who represent 39 universities in 10 countries. The 2019 awards averaged $72,000 in cash awards and $15,000 in AWS Promotional Credits in support of each research project. Each grant is intended to support the work of one to two graduate students or postdoctoral students for one year, under the supervision of a faculty member.

The 11 focus areas of this year’s research awards are computer vision; fairness in artificial intelligence; knowledge management and data quality; machine learning algorithms and theory; natural-language processing; online advertising; operations research and optimization; personalization; robotics; search and information retrieval; and security, privacy, and abuse prevention.

Recipients can use more than 150 Amazon public data sets. Amazon encourages the publication of research results, researcher presentations at Amazon offices worldwide, and the release of related code under open-source licenses.

Each project is assigned an Amazon research contact who is available for consultation and supports the project’s progress.

“The Amazon Research Awards help fund outstanding, innovative research proposals across machine learning, robotics, operations research, and more, while helping strengthen connections between Amazon research teams, academic researchers, and their affiliated institutions,” said Swami Sivasubramanian, vice president of Amazon Machine Learning. “The breadth and depth of the research this year’s recipients will pursue is impressive and will lead to critical innovations for our customers and meaningful scientific advancements in each of the 11 focus areas.”

Grant proposals for 2020, which will be the program’s sixth year, will be accepted starting this fall. Please check back for more information this summer or send an email to be added to the 2020 Call For Proposal distribution list. Below is the list of 2019 award recipients, presented in alphabetical order.

Sr. Research Scientist, Pricing Science
US, WA, Seattle
Amazon's Worldwide Pricing & Promotions organization is seeking a talented, hands-on Research Scientist to join the Pricing and Promotion Optimization Science (P2OS) team — the optimization "application layer" within Amazon's Pricing Sciences organization. Amazon adjusts prices on hundreds of millions of products daily across a global marketplace; P2OS is the team that makes those prices optimal. P2OS is a small, specialized unit with an outsized charter: develop and maintain the models that determine optimal prices and promotions across Amazon's catalog and merchant programs. We own the full optimization stack — from price prediction to promotion targeting to competitiveness guardrails — and we measure success in terms of accretive Gross Contribution and Customer Pricing Perception (GCCP). Our work spans Retail Core, Amazon Business, Fresh, Grocery, and international marketplaces, and we are continually investing in more extensible, generalizable science foundations to keep pace with a growing and evolving business. We are looking for an innovative, organized, and customer-focused scientist with exceptional machine learning and predictive modeling skills, causal and experimental evaluation experience, and the entrepreneurial spirit to apply state-of-the-art methods to some of the most impactful pricing problems in e-commerce. You should be comfortable with ambiguity, motivated by measurable business impact, and excited by the opportunity to work at Amazon-scale. Key job responsibilities * Innovate and build. Design, develop, and deploy machine learning models that set optimal prices and promotions across Amazon's global catalog. Own models end-to-end — from problem formulation and data analysis through offline evaluation, A/B testing, and production launch. * Build a generalizable science foundation. Develop models and evaluation frameworks designed to scale across merchant programs, product categories, and marketplaces — enabling cross-learning and reducing the time and cost of applying science to new business contexts. * Build and evolve optimization systems. Design and improve optimization systems — including reinforcement learning and multi-objective optimization approaches — that automate price and promotion decisions at scale across millions of products. * Apply generative AI and foundation models. Identify and pursue opportunities to leverage large language models, embeddings, and generative AI techniques in pricing science — from enriching product representations and extracting competitive signals from unstructured data, to building more capable and explainable pricing systems. * Experiment rigorously. Design and execute A/B tests and causal inference studies to measure the business and customer impact of pricing model changes. Translate findings into production-ready science improvements. * Stay at the frontier. Establish mechanisms to track the latest advances in reinforcement learning, causal ML, multi-objective optimization, generative AI, and demand modeling — and identify opportunities to apply them to Pricing & Promotions business problems. * See the big picture. Contribute to the long-term scientific vision for how Amazon sets competitive, perception-preserving prices — balancing profitability, customer trust, and marketplace health.
