Looking for an MD/PhD in Ayurveda to help in our AI powered Ayurveda Startup (Paid)
Hi everyone,
I'm building AyurLab, an AI platform focused on making Ayurvedic knowledge structured, searchable, citation-backed knowledge system for researchers and product developers
Right now, we're working on one of the hardest parts of the system: extracting structured knowledge from classical Ayurvedic texts.
We're looking for someone who has:
- MD/MS in Ayurveda, or a PhD in Ayurveda (or currently pursuing one)
- Strong understanding of classical texts (Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, Ashtanga Hridaya, etc.)
- Interest in research, knowledge representation, or AI applications in Ayurveda
- Comfortable working with a technical team
What you'd be helping with
- Extracting and annotating knowledge from Ayurvedic texts
- Standardizing herb names, formulations, diseases, doshas, rasas, gunas, etc.
- Building the ontology/knowledge graph that powers our AI
- Reviewing extracted data for accuracy
- Helping us resolve ambiguities across different texts
Our long-term goal is to map all major Ayurvedic literature into a structured knowledge base that can power evidence-backed AI tools for practitioners and researchers.
This is a paid opportunity (freelance/part-time initially), with the possibility of a longer-term collaboration if it's a good fit.
If you're interested, or know someone who might be, please comment below or send me a DM with:
- Your background
- Relevant research/work experience
- Your familiarity with classical Ayurvedic texts
Happy to answer any questions about the project as well.
