Research Scientist, Multimodal Generative AI, Google DeepMind

Additional Job Description

Our team works on developing state-of-the-art methods for AI generative media models, with a particular focus on culturally-adapted image and video generation. 

At Google DeepMind, we've built a unique culture and work environment where long-term ambitious research can flourish. Our special interdisciplinary team combines the best techniques from deep learning, reinforcement learning, and systems neuroscience to build general-purpose learning algorithms. We have already made a number of high-profile breakthroughs towards building artificial general intelligence, and we have all the ingredients in place to make further significant progress over the coming year!

Research Scientists lead our efforts in developing novel tools, infrastructure, and algorithms towards the end goal of solving and building Artificial General Intelligence.

Having pioneered research in the world's leading academic and industrial labs, PhDs, post-docs, or professorships, Research Scientists join Google DeepMind to work collaboratively within and across Research fields. They are expected to work with teams on large scale AI, and develop solutions to fundamental questions in machine learning and AI.

Drawing on expertise from a variety of disciplines including deep learning, computer vision, language modeling, and advanced generative architectures, our Research Scientists are at the forefront of groundbreaking research.

Job responsibilities
