Position Summary

Samsung AI Centre Cambridge was established in 2018 and it is an ambitious independent research centre targeting "Human-Centric AI" to enrich peoples’ lives using AI technologies.

We are seeking full-time, permanent Researchers in Computer Vision and Deep Learning to join the Future Interaction program. 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 of particular interest by Samsung. 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 Architectures.

Model Compression (distillation, quantization).

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

Samsung has a strict policy on trade secrets. In applying to Samsung and progressing through the recruitment process, you must not disclose any trade secrets of a previous employer.

10 AI Recruitment Agencies in the UK You Should Know (2025 Job‑Seeker Guide)

Generative‑AI hype has translated into real hiring: Lightcast recorded +57 % year‑on‑year growth in UK adverts mentioning “machine learning”, “LLM” or “gen‑AI” during Q1 2025. Yet supply still lags. Roughly 18,000 core AI professionals work in the UK, but monthly live vacancies hover around 1,400–1,600. That mismatch makes specialist recruiters invaluable—opening stealth vacancies, advising on salary bands and fast‑tracking interview loops. But many tech agencies sprinkle “AI” on their website without an active desk. To save you time, we vetted 50 + consultancies and kept only those with: A registered UK head office (verified via Companies House). A named AI/Machine‑Learning or Data practice.

AI Jobs Skills Radar 2026: Emerging Frameworks, Languages & Tools to Learn Now

As the UK’s AI sector accelerates towards a £1 trillion tech economy, the job landscape is rapidly evolving. Whether you’re an aspiring AI engineer, a machine learning specialist, or a data-driven software developer, staying ahead of the curve means more than just brushing up on Python. You’ll need to master a new generation of frameworks, languages, and tools shaping the future of artificial intelligence. Welcome to the AI Jobs Skills Radar 2026—your definitive guide to the emerging AI tech stack that employers will be looking for in the next 12–24 months. Updated annually for accuracy and relevance, this guide breaks down the top tools, frameworks, platforms, and programming languages powering the UK’s most in-demand AI careers.

How to Find Hidden AI Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like BCS, IET & the Turing Society

Stop Scrolling Job Boards and Start Tapping the Real AI Market Every week a new headline announces millions of pounds flowing into artificial-intelligence research, defence initiatives, or health-tech pilots. Read the news and you could be forgiven for thinking that AI vacancies must be everywhere—just grab your laptop, open LinkedIn, and pick a role. Yet anyone who has hunted seriously for an AI job in the United Kingdom knows the truth is messier. A large percentage of worthwhile AI positions—especially specialist or senior posts—never appear on public boards. They emerge inside university–industry consortia, defence labs, NHS data-science teams, climate-tech start-ups, and venture studios. Most are filled through referral or conversation long before a recruiter drafts a formal advert. If you wait for a vacancy link, you are already at the back of the queue. The surest way to beat that dynamic is to embed yourself in the professional bodies and grassroots communities where the work is conceived. The UK has a dense network of such organisations: the Chartered Institute for IT (BCS); the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) with its Artificial Intelligence Technical Network; the Alan Turing Institute and its student-driven Turing Society; the Royal Statistical Society (RSS); the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) and its Mechatronics, Informatics & Control Group; public-funding engines like UK Research and Innovation (UKRI); and an ecosystem of Slack channels and Meetup groups that trade genuine, timely intel. This article is a practical, step-by-step guide to using those networks. You will learn: Why professional bodies matter more than algorithmic job boards Exactly which special-interest groups (SIGs) and technical networks to join How to turn CPD events into informal interviews How to monitor grant databases so you hear about posts months before they exist Concrete scripts, portfolio tactics, and outreach rhythms that convert visibility into offers Follow the playbook and you move from passive applicant to insider—the colleague who hears about a role before it is written down.
