Direct message the job poster from microTECH Global LTD

As a Researcher, your main task will be to develop breakthrough technologies in the area of Vision and Language. You are expected to conduct high-impact research targeting the top Computer Vision and Machine Learning venues, and to focus on solutions to key technical challenges.

While the target is mid- to long-term research, upon maturity of the research, the team is expected to transfer the technology to product divisions and their Engineering teams, which will then be in charge of driving the commercialization.

Role and Responsibilities

We have 1 position open in the broad areas of Machine Learning and Computer Vision with a focus on Vision and Language. The positions are part of the Future Interaction Research Programme. Our topics of interest include but are not limited to:

  • Contrastively-trained and auto-regressive Vision & Language (e.g. CLIP, BLIP).
  • Visual LLMs (e.g. LLaVA).
  • Generative Models (e.g. Stable Diffusion and Auto-Regressive models).
  • Efficient Adaptation of Large Models.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Conduct hands-on innovative research, including methodological conceptualization and implementation.
  • Publishing at top venues: CVPR, ECCV, ICCV, ICLR, NeurIPS, ICML, EMNLP, ACL, TPAMI and IJCV.
  • Contribute to the research agenda and directions within the center.
  • Interact with product and engineering teams for the purpose of technology transfer.

Skills and Qualifications

Key Skills Required:

  • Research experience in the fields of Computer Vision and/or Machine Learning.
  • Familiarity with fast prototyping Deep Learning frameworks such as PyTorch.
  • A track record of publishing at top-tier venues (e.g. CVPR, ECCV, ICCV, ICLR, NeurIPS, EMNLP, ACL, ICML, TPAMI and IJCV).
  • Ability to communicate well and to collaborate with other group members.

Experience in the topics described above, or closely related topics, is a plus but not necessary.

What we offer:

  • An excellent research environment: autonomy to define a research agenda along the centre’s core lines, opportunities to collaborate with excellent researchers and to publish at top conferences.
  • Opportunity to transfer research into impact, and get your work reach millions of customers.
  • A top-tier package, on par with the top companies in the industry in Europe.
  • An excellent location at the heart of Cambridge, and at commute’s distance from London.
  • Hybrid working with 3 days onsite and 2 days working from home weekly

The Future of Artificial Intelligence Jobs: Careers That Don’t Exist Yet

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has already transformed the global job market. From data scientists and machine learning engineers to AI ethicists and prompt engineers, many roles that seemed futuristic only a decade ago are now mainstream. Yet this is only the beginning. AI is progressing faster than any other technology in history, and the UK is at the forefront of its adoption, with government strategies, academic research, and private investment all accelerating growth. As generative AI, autonomous systems, robotics, and cognitive computing expand, completely new careers will emerge—jobs that don’t yet exist, but which will soon become central to how organisations, societies, and economies function. This article explores what those roles might look like, why they will matter, and how today’s professionals can prepare for careers that are still being invented.

Seasonal Hiring Peaks for AI Jobs: The Best Months to Apply & Why

The artificial intelligence sector has transformed from a niche technology field into one of the UK's most dynamic employment markets. With AI roles ranging from machine learning engineers to data scientists and AI product managers commanding average salaries between £45,000 and £120,000, timing your job search strategically can significantly impact your success rate. Understanding when companies typically hire for AI positions—and why these patterns exist—can give you a competitive edge in landing your dream role. Unlike traditional industries with predictable seasonal fluctuations, the AI job market follows distinct patterns driven by corporate budgets, educational cycles, and technological project timelines. This comprehensive guide explores the optimal months to apply for AI jobs in the UK, helping you align your career moves with industry hiring peaks.
