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.

Closing date: Tuesday 17th December, 9:00am GMT

Machine Learning Jobs Skills Radar 2026: Emerging Tools, Frameworks & Platforms to Learn Now

Machine learning is no longer confined to academic research—it's embedded in how UK companies detect fraud, recommend content, automate processes & forecast risk. But with model complexity rising and LLMs transforming workflows, employers are demanding new skills from machine learning professionals. Welcome to the Machine Learning Jobs Skills Radar 2026—your annual guide to the top languages, frameworks, platforms & tools shaping machine learning roles in the UK. Whether you're an aspiring ML engineer or a mid-career data scientist, this radar shows what to learn now to stay job-ready in 2026.

How to Find Hidden Machine Learning Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like BCS, Turing Society & More

Machine learning (ML) continues to transform sectors across the UK—from fintech and retail to healthtech and autonomous systems. But while the demand for ML engineers, researchers, and applied scientists is growing, many of the best opportunities are never posted on traditional job boards. So, where do you find them? The answer lies in professional bodies, academic-industry networks, and tight-knit ML communities. In this guide, we’ll show you how to uncover hidden machine learning jobs in the UK by engaging with groups like the BCS (The Chartered Institute for IT), Turing Society, Alan Turing Institute, and others. We’ll explore how to use member directories, CPD events, SIGs (Special Interest Groups), and community projects to build connections, gain early access to job leads, and raise your professional profile in the ML ecosystem.

How to Get a Better Machine Learning Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Redundancy in machine learning can feel especially frustrating when your role was technically advanced, strategically important, or AI-facing. But the UK still has strong demand for machine learning professionals across fintech, healthtech, retail, cybersecurity, autonomous systems, and generative AI. Whether you're a research-oriented ML engineer, production-focused MLOps developer, or applied scientist, this guide is designed to help you bounce back from redundancy and find a better opportunity that suits your goals.
