Research Engineer I (Computer Science / Artificial Intelligence)

The Alibaba-NTU Global e-Sustainability CorpLab (ANGEL) represents a key collaboration between Alibaba Group and Nanyang Technological University (NTU). Supported by the Singapore RIE2025 Fund, ANGEL creates and deploys impactful green digital technologies for global sustainability.

ANGEL’s mission aligns seamlessly with Singapore’s national objectives, such as the Singapore Green Plan 2030 and the Singapore Smart Nation Initiative. ANGEL’s work in developing sustainable and equitable digital solutions and promoting a sustainable and green lifestyle will contribute to a smaller carbon footprint. Its holistic approach will help to secure a brighter, more sustainable future for humanity. 

ANGEL will also cultivate human talents equipped with both advanced technical skills and a solid understanding of sustainable practices. They will enable Singapore to realise its environmental and technological ambitions.

We are looking for a Research Engineer who will conduct cutting-edge research on the evaluation of large language models (LLMs) and vision-language models (VLMs). These models have demonstrated excellent performance on a large number of language and multimodal tasks. However, objective evaluation that can identify shortcut features and lack of generations remains a challenge. In this project, we aim to build dynamic and adaptive evaluation techniques.

Responsibilities:

• Conduct research in the field of neural networks, natural language processing (NLP), and large language models (LLMs).

• Critically evaluate existing literature and propose new ideas under supervision

• Write papers and present the research work to a wide audience

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree and above in computer science, artificial intelligence, or related disciplines

• Strong background in Python and PyTorch programming.

• Excellent mathematical literacy and familiarity with linear algebra and probability theory.

• Curiosity, keen observation, grit, and communication skills.

We regret to inform that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
