Duties & Responsibilities

Lead fundamental research on mathematical interpretability of multimodal foundation models, including attention mechanisms and latent representations.
Investigate advanced topics in scene understanding, behavioral cognition, and causal inference within dynamic industrial environments.
Develop novel methodologies for multimodal representation alignment, state prediction, and temporal dynamics modeling.
Design and implement reinforcement learning strategies with mathematical guarantees for safety and efficiency.
Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to translate theoretical frameworks into practical, deployable AI systems.
Publish high-impact research in top-tier conferences and journals.
Mentor junior researchers and contribute to grant writing and project reporting.

Ph.D. in Mathematics, Computer Science, Statistics, Electrical Engineering, or related discipline.
Demonstrated research expertise in multimodal large models, causal inference, reinforcement learning, or mathematical foundations of deep learning.
Proficiency in Python and deep learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, Llama-Factory).
Excellent analytical, communication, and mentorship skills.
Ability to work independently and collaboratively in an interdisciplinary setting.
Strong publication record in top-tier AI/ML conferences or journals is a strong plus.

Contract — up to two years, renewable subject to good performance and mutual agreement.
