Description For Research Scientist - World Models

Google DeepMind is at the forefront of artificial intelligence research and development, working to advance the state of the art in AI technology. We're seeking a Senior Research Scientist to join an ambitious project focused on building generative models that simulate the physical world. This role is crucial in our journey towards artificial general intelligence through scaling pretraining on video and multimodal data.

The position offers an opportunity to work on world models that will power various domains, including visual reasoning and simulation, planning for embodied agents, and real-time interactive entertainment. You'll collaborate with prestigious teams like Gemini, Veo, and Genie, tackling critical new problems to scale world models to the highest levels of compute.

As a Research Scientist, you'll be responsible for implementing core infrastructure and conducting cutting-edge research in generative modeling. The role demands expertise in training world simulators at massive scale, developing metrics for physical intelligence, and working with multimodal language models. We emphasize simple, scalable methods and strong systems infrastructure.

The ideal candidate will have advanced education in computer science or machine learning, extensive experience with large-scale transformer models, and a proven track record in relevant research areas. You'll be joining a diverse team of scientists, engineers, and ML experts who value different perspectives and experiences.

The position offers competitive compensation ($136,000 - $245,000) plus bonus, equity, and benefits, reflecting the role's importance in advancing AI technology. Join us in creating extraordinary impact and pushing the boundaries of what's possible in artificial intelligence.
