Position Summary

The purpose of the role is to conduct cutting-edge applied research on foundations and challenges of personalized and efficient Generative AI to develop state-of-the-art solutions for real-world large-scale problems at Samsung Research and Development Institute, UK (SRUK). This is a good opportunity to work on next-generation mobile devices from Samsung. The research output will be disseminated in local and international research communities such as in research seminars, and top-tier conferences and journals.

As a forward-thinking company, we are at the forefront of innovation, and seek an individual with a passion for pushing the boundaries of Generative AI processing text and images on PC and mobile environment. The prospective engineer will have an opportunity to work in production environments and solve industry-relevant problems.

The ideal candidate will hold a PhD, have publications at top AI conferences and be experienced in Generative AI research involving Large Language Models. Additional experience in one of the following is highly appreciated: Visual-Language Models, Vision Transformers, or Diffusion Models.

Role and Responsibilities

• Cutting-edge research to develop state-of-the-art solutions to existing problems and/or propose novel research challenges considering real-world case studies in generative AI.

• Development of high-quality and documented code to support reproducible research in local and international research communities in AI.

• Publication in top-tier conferences and journals, such as NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, AAAI, ACL, STOC, IEEE TPAMI, IEEE TNNLS, IEEE TSP, IEEE TIP, Information Fusion, JAIR, IJRR, IJCV, and JMLR.

• Preparation of high-quality presentations and demos to showcase the developed solutions either on server or on mobile devices.

Skills and Qualifications

Essential:

• Having obtained a PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics or a related discipline.

• Experience in one or more general purpose programming languages including Python, Java, C and C++.

• At least one first-authored publication in one of the following conferences and journals: NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, AAAI, EMNLP, ACL, IEEE TPAMI, IEEE TNNLS, IJCV, and JMLR.
