AI Researcher – AI Index R&D

Overview

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. Our team develops AI-powered tools, frameworks, and workflows that enhance the efficiency, scalability, and insight generation of index research. 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. The team operates at the intersection of AI research, applied engineering, and financial analytics, combining technical innovation with domain expertise to shape the next generation of MSCI Index capabilities.
