Job Description
Snapshot
The role of the Research Scientist Lead will be to develop and drive an agenda around state-of-the-art methods for AI generative media models with a particular focus on culturally-adapted image and video generation.
At Google DeepMind weve 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 (AGI) and we have all the ingredients in place to make further significant progress over the coming year!
About Us
Artificial Intelligence could be one of humanitys most useful inventions. At Google DeepMind were a team of scientists engineers machine learning experts and more working together to advance the state of the art in artificial intelligence. We use our technologies for widespread public benefit and scientific discovery and collaborate with others on critical challenges ensuring safety and responsibility are the highest priority.
The Role
Research Scientist Leads at Google DeepMind lead our efforts in developing novel tools infrastructure and algorithms towards the end goal of solving and building Artificial General Intelligence.
They have a keen sense of strategically important and impactful problems. They should excel in a research driven culture be comfortable diving deep into the details yet be able to step back and communicate both the strategic and immediate implications on priorities.
Having pioneered research in the worlds 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 Scientist Leads are at the forefront of groundbreaking research.
Key responsibilities:
As a Research Scientist Lead you will:
Set the technical vision and strategic direction for the teams research and development efforts towards novel research that improves the state-of-the-art in Multimodal Generative AI with a particular emphasis on culturally-adapted image and video synthesis.
Lead mentor and grow a high-performing team fostering a culture of innovation collaboration and technical excellence.
Drive the end-to-end execution of complex research projects from rapid-prototyping of novel datasets and methods to developing principled scalable techniques.
Act as the primary technical point of contact representing the teams work and influencing stakeholders across Google DeepMind and Googles product organizations.
