Founding Research Scientist

Research Scientist Human Attention and Spatial AI

London - Remote - x2 a month visits

The Role
You will design and build models that predict, interpret, and simulate human attention and behaviour in visual and spatial contexts. Working closely with the founders, you will influence both the technical roadmap and future diversification into new application areas.

Key responsibilities include:

• Developing machine learning and computer vision models focused on human attention, perception, and intent
• Designing and running experiments independently across visual and spatial data
• Working with multimodal and temporal data such as gaze, motion, and interaction signals
• Contributing to new research directions and exploratory projects beyond the initial domain
• Publishing research in leading academic venues while working on applied problems

Your Skills and Experience

• PhD or near completed PhD, or equivalent research experience, in computer vision, machine learning, neuroscience, cognitive science, robotics, HCI, or a related field
• Strong publication record, ideally at venues such as CVPR or ICCV, or equivalent research output
• Hands on experience with Python and deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow
• Ability to design, run, and analyse machine learning experiments end to end
• Clear interest in human behaviour, perception, attention, or cognitive modelling
• Comfortable working in a very small team with ambiguity and open ended research problems

Useful or Nice to Have

• Gaze modelling, eye tracking, visual saliency, or attention modelling
• Spatial AI, 2D or 3D vision, simulation, or digital twins
• EEG or other physiological signals combined with computer vision
• Multimodal or temporal modelling, egocentric video, or embodied AI

What They Offer

• Meaningful equity as an early and influential hire
• Flexibility on location across London, Bristol, or remote working
• Freedom to continue publishing and shaping your own research agenda
• The chance to work directly with founders and have real ownership over technical direction
