Multimodal AI Researcher - PhD / Machine Learning / Python / C++


We're searching for a Multimodal AI Researcher to join out client on an initial 6 month contract working on a hybrid model in Surrey.


This is a 6 month contract that would suit either a PhD student looking for an internship or a PhD graduate seeking a 6 month contract.


As a Multimodal AI Researcher, you will:

  • Drive innovation by developing cutting-edge solutions to real-world problems in on-device audio-visual AI.
  • Proactively propose and prototype novel research ideas, factoring in practical constraints.
  • Contribute to the development of complex AI systems, transforming research concepts into production-ready software.
  • Apply software engineering best practices across both research and development phases.
  • Effectively communicate research findings through technical reports and/or academic publications.



Required skills:

  • Recent graduate or currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Machine Learning/AI, Computer Science/Engineering, Mathematics, Statistics, or a related field.
  • Strong foundational knowledge in machine learning and artificial intelligence.
  • First-author publications in top-tier ML/AI conferences or journals (e.g., CVPR, ICCV, NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ICASSP, INTERSPEECH, IEEE TPAMI, IEEE IoT, IEEE TNNLS, JMLR, or similar).
  • Hands-on machine learning experience in at least one of the following areas:
  • Multimodal LLMs (audio and/or video)
  • Contrastive learning (e.g., multimodal feature alignment)
  • Model compression techniques (e.g., quantization, pruning, knowledge distillation)
  • Proven success in:
  • Software development using Python and/or C/C++
  • Working with ML frameworks such as PyTorch and/or TensorFlow
  • Writing clear and thorough documentation
  • Using standard software engineering tools and practices (e.g., Git)
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills with a results-driven mindset
  • Excellent problem-solving and debugging abilities


Preferred skills:

  • Background in multimodal emotion recognition and foundational facial models
  • Experience with multi-task learning and deception detection
  • Demonstrated ability to build sophisticated training and inference pipelines
  • Knowledge of embedded and/or distributed ML tools and methodologies
  • Experience in optimizing and profiling AI pipelines for performance
  • Contributions to open-source machine learning libraries

Why AI Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Artificial intelligence is no longer a single-discipline pursuit. In the UK, employers increasingly want talent that can code and communicate, model and manage risk, experiment and empathise. That shift is reshaping job descriptions, training pathways & career progression. AI is touching regulated sectors, sensitive user journeys & public services — so the work now sits at the crossroads of computer science, law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This isn’t a buzzword-driven change. It’s happening because real systems are deployed in the wild where people have rights, needs, habits & constraints. As models move from lab demos to products that diagnose, advise, detect fraud, personalise education or generate media, teams must align performance with accountability, safety & usability. The UK’s maturing AI ecosystem — from startups to FTSE 100s, consultancies, the public sector & universities — is responding by hiring multidisciplinary teams who can anticipate social impact as confidently as they ship features. Below, we unpack the forces behind this change, spotlight five disciplines now fused with AI roles, show what it means for UK job-seekers & employers, and map practical steps to future-proof your CV.

AI Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern AI Department

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are no longer confined to research labs and tech giants. In the UK, organisations from healthcare and finance to retail and logistics are adopting AI to solve problems, automate processes, and create new products. With this growth comes the need for well-structured teams. But what does an AI department actually look like? Who does what? And how do all the moving parts come together to deliver business value? In this guide, we’ll explain modern AI team structures, break down the responsibilities of each role, explore how teams differ in startups versus enterprises, and highlight what UK employers are looking for. Whether you’re an applicant or an employer, this article will help you understand the anatomy of a successful AI department.

Why the UK Could Be the World’s Next AI Jobs Hub

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly moved from research labs into boardrooms, classrooms, hospitals, and homes. It is already reshaping economies and transforming industries at a scale comparable to the industrial revolution or the rise of the internet. Around the world, countries are competing fiercely to lead in AI innovation and reap its economic, social, and strategic benefits. The United Kingdom is uniquely positioned in this race. With a rich heritage in computing, world-class universities, forward-thinking government policy, and a growing ecosystem of startups and enterprises, the UK has many of the elements needed to become the world’s next AI hub. Yet competition is intense, particularly from the United States and China. Success will depend on how effectively the UK can scale its strengths, close its gaps, and seize opportunities in the years ahead. This article explores why the UK could be the world’s next global hub for artificial intelligence, what challenges it must overcome, and what this means for businesses, researchers, and job seekers.
