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

AI Summit London 2025: A Complete Guide for UK AI Engineers & Recruiters

Artificial intelligence may be a border-less technology, but every ecosystem needs a beating heart where the community meets face-to-face. For the British Isles that heart is The AI Summit London, the headline AI event of London Tech Week, returning to Tobacco Dock on 11–12 June 2025. With eight content stages, 4 500+ attendees and 300 speakers spanning government, FTSE-100 giants and rocket-ship start-ups, the Summit offers a year’s worth of insight, deal-making and career acceleration in just 48 hours. Whether you are an AI engineer optimising vector databases, a data scientist pivoting into prompt ops, or a hiring manager scouring the market for talent, this handbook distils everything you need to hit the ground running—from ticket tactics and agenda highlights to networking hacks and post-event ROI.

AI Engineer World’s Fair 2025: The Complete UK Guide to June’s Unmissable AI Engineering Event

If 2024 was the year every product team rushed to bolt an LLM onto their roadmap, 2025 is when the craft of AI engineering finally takes centre stage. From rapid-fire prompt iterations to robust eval pipelines, the discipline now demands the same rigour we once reserved for cloud infra or mobile apps. That is precisely why the AI Engineer World’s Fair, 3–5 June 2025 in San Francisco, matters more than any keynote or press release: it is the one place where the movers, makers and maintainers of production-grade AI swap battle-tested patterns in person. For UK technologists—and the recruiters who hire them—the Fair offers a rare chance to compress a year’s worth of learning, networking and tooling discovery into three intense days. Whether you are scaling RAG systems on Azure, bootstrapping an agentic start-up from your kitchen table, or simply hunting for your first AI engineer job, the sessions, workshops and hallway conversations can tilt your career trajectory. The guide that follows distils everything you need to know—programme highlights, travel hacks, ticket tips and post-event ROI—so you can decide if a flight across the Atlantic (or a virtual pass) is the smartest investment you’ll make this year.
