I korthet

Microsoft Research Cambridge is seeking a Postdoctoral Researcher for their Machine Intelligence team, focusing on foundational AI/ML research including learning algorithms, model architectures, and efficient AI. The role involves developing an original research program, collaborating with experts, and disseminating findings through publications and presentations.

Ansvarsområden

  • Develop an original research program to advance fundamental understanding or methodology in modern artificial intelligence.
  • Formulate and investigate research questions using theoretical analysis, algorithm/architecture design, or empirical study.
  • Derive, design, implement, validate, and iterate on new architectures through controlled and large-scale scaling experiments.
  • Collaborate with researchers on model efficiency, reasoning systems, learning algorithms, and large-scale experimentation.
  • Pursue an independent research program and contribute to the team's broader scientific direction.
  • Disseminate research through peer-reviewed publications, conference presentations, and open scientific engagement.

Krav

  • A PhD (completed or near completion) in Machine Learning, Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, or a related field.
  • Expertise in one or more sub-fields of AI/ML, evidenced by top-tier publications and/or experience.
  • A strong record of original, peer-reviewed research published at leading venues in AI, machine learning, or theory (e.g., NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, COLT, STOC, FOCS, SODA).

Önskade kvalifikationer

  • Expertise in areas relevant to theoretical and/or practical aspects of modern foundation models (optimization, training dynamics, LLM architecture, representation learning, attention mechanisms, test-time computation/training, reasoning, memory, adaptation, agentic interaction, efficiency, scaling, machine learning theory).
  • Demonstrated ability to formulate, investigate, and iterate challenging research questions independently.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex ideas to a broad scientific audience.
  • Hands-on experience designing, implementing, training, and evaluating AI/ML models using a modern framework such as PyTorch or JAX.
  • We value depth, originality, and transferable skills in a candidate's chosen area.
  • Welcome candidates whose primary contributions are theoretical, empirical, or methodological.

Förmåner

  • Base pay of £6,655.00 per month.
  • Certain roles may be eligible for benefits and other compensation.
