Do you wish your research to have a direct impact in the business world and be well-rewarded for it?

The role:
Our client is seeking to hire brilliant PhDs with strong mathematical and computer science backgrounds to join their team in Cyprus.
If you enjoy the scientific method, rapid prototyping, and creating innovative solutions, we want to hear from you.
Your focus will be on AI safety, generative AI, AGI, novel AI architectures, and cutting-edge algorithms. Candidates must have ideally 3 years of post-PhD experience and be original thinkers.

• Seeking an A+ AI Pure Researcher - someone who identifies as such, not as an AI Engineer.
• The candidate should enjoy scientific method, prototyping, and creating innovative solutions in areas like AI safety, generative AI, novel architectures, and algorithms.
• Although AGI is still very theoretical, the candidate must have a passion for the pursuit of AGI and be aware of what's happening in the field, have ideas, etc.

Publishing:

• Should have a strong track record of papers - he/she 'll be publishing more.
• Must be comfortable filing patents related to AI/deep-tech innovations.

Communication:

• Able to express complex ideas with simplicity, challenge me, pitch and catch ideas, and dazzle listeners.
• If we find more than one excellent candidate, we may hire two, and probably more later on.
  

Work framework + Benefits:
