Snapshot

Artificial Intelligence could be one of humanity’s most useful inventions. At Google DeepMind, we’re a team of scientists, engineers, machine learning experts and more, working together to advance the state of the art in artificial intelligence. We use our technologies for widespread public benefit and scientific discovery, and collaborate with others on critical challenges, ensuring safety and ethics are the highest priority.

About Us

At Google DeepMind, we've built a unique culture and work environment where long-term ambitious research can flourish.We are seeking a highly motivated Research Scientist to join our team and contribute to groundbreaking foundational research in multimodal learning and evaluation with a focus on generative models.

Our team aims to push the understanding and application of multimodal generative models; we focus on evaluation and improvement of models particularly at the post-training stage.We are interested in candidates with experience in evaluation and analysis of foundation models and familiar with the latest generative modelling techniques.

You will need to be able to understand and work on the promising research directions, and implement them. Therefore, both a strong theoretical background and hands-on experience with neural network training is required.

You will collaborate closely with other leading researchers, contributing to the development of cutting edge techniques to evaluate and improve multimodal generative models.

The Role

We’re looking for a versatile Research Scientist, comfortable with both figuring out how to approach new research questions and the technical implementation of research ideas.

Key responsibilities:

  • Come up with ideas to solve new problems/improve performance of existing models, e.g., improving or evaluating the capabilities of models, or measuring outcomes.
  • Develop technical solutions to test these ideas and assess performance.
  • Report and present research findings and developments including results clearly and efficiently.
  • Contribute to team collaborations to meet ambitious research goals.

About You

In order to set you up for success as a Research Scientist at Google DeepMind, we are looking for the following skills and experience:

  • PhD in natural language processing, machine learning, or closely related field.
  • A proven track record of publications.
  • Hands-on experience with Python, neural network training, and multimodal data.
  • Ability to communicate technical ideas effectively, e.g. through discussions, whiteboard sessions, written documentation.

In addition, any of the following would be an advantage:

  • Good understanding of multimodal diffusion models.
  • Hands-on experience with large scale training of models.

Rural-Remote Machine Learning Jobs: Finding Balance Beyond the Big Cities

Over the past decade, machine learning (ML) has transformed from a niche research domain into a pervasive technology underpinning everything from recommendation systems and voice assistants to financial forecasting and autonomous vehicles. Historically, the UK’s major tech hubs—particularly London—have been magnets for top ML talent and corporate headquarters. However, remote work has become mainstream, and many ML professionals are realising they can excel in their field while living far beyond the city limits. At MachineLearningJobs.co.uk, we’ve observed a growing interest in positions that allow for a rural lifestyle or a coastal environment, often reflected in search terms like “ML remote countryside” or “tech jobs by the sea.” This surge is no coincidence. Flexible work policies, better rural broadband, and the nature of machine learning tasks—much of which can be done through cloud platforms—are bringing new opportunities to those who wish to swap urban hustle for fresh air and scenic views. Whether you’re a data scientist, ML engineer, researcher, or product manager, a rural or seaside move could reinvigorate your work-life balance. In this article, we’ll unpack why rural-remote ML jobs are on the rise, how you can navigate the challenges of leaving the city, and what you need to do to thrive in a machine learning career beyond the M25. If you’ve dreamt of looking up from your laptop to rolling fields or ocean waves, keep reading—your rural ML role might be closer than you think.

Quantum-Enhanced Machine Learning—Propelling AI into the Next Frontier

Machine learning (ML) has revolutionised how we interpret data, build predictive models, and create intelligent applications. From recommendation engines and self-driving cars to advanced genomics and natural language processing, ML solutions are integral to nearly every corner of modern life. However, as data complexity and model size continue to skyrocket, the computational demands placed on ML systems grow in tandem—often pushing even high-performance classical computers to their limits. In recent years, quantum computing has emerged as a tantalising solution to these challenges. Unlike traditional digital systems, quantum computers exploit quantum mechanics—superposition and entanglement—to process information in ways that defy conventional logic. As these machines mature, they promise exponential speed-ups for certain tasks, potentially reshaping how we approach AI and data-intensive challenges. What does this mean for machine learning? Enter quantum-enhanced ML, a new frontier where quantum processors and classical ML frameworks unite to accelerate model training, tackle high-dimensional data, and solve complex optimisation tasks more efficiently. In this article, we will: Unpack the current state of machine learning, highlighting key bottlenecks. Provide a concise overview of quantum computing—why it’s radical and how it differs from classical technology. Examine potential breakthroughs in quantum-enhanced ML, including real-world use cases and technical approaches. Explore the roles and skill sets that will define this quantum-AI era, with guidance on how to prepare. Discuss the roadblocks (like hardware maturity and ethical concerns) and how they might be addressed in the years to come. If you’re a machine learning engineer, data scientist, or simply an AI enthusiast fascinated by the next wave of computational innovation, read on—quantum computing could become an integral part of your future toolkit, opening up job opportunities and reimagining what ML can achieve.
