Our team accelerates research in strategic projects that enable trustworthy, robust and reliable machine learning with a group of research scientists and engineers on a mission-driven team. Together, we will apply ML and other computational techniques to a wide range of challenging problems. A public example of recent work is SynthID , and we are actively pursuing other exciting projects across many disciplines.

We’re a dedicated scientific community, committed to “solving intelligence” and ensuring our technology is used for widespread public benefit. We’ve built a supportive environment where collaboration is encouraged and learning is shared freely. We don’t set limits based on what others think is possible or impossible. We drive ourselves and inspire each other to push boundaries and achieve ambitious goals.

As a Research Scientist in Strategic Initiatives, you will use your machine learning expertise to collaborate with domain experts and other machine learning scientists within our strategic initiatives programs. Domains may include, but are not limited to, machine learning robustness, the provenance of synthetic media, and the trustworthiness of data.

Artificial intelligence will be one of humanity’s most transformative inventions. At Google DeepMind, we are a pioneering AI lab with exceptional interdisciplinary teams focused on advancing AI development to solve complex global challenges and accelerate high-quality product innovation for billions of users. We use our technologies for widespread public benefit and scientific discovery, ensuring safety and ethics are always our highest priority.

We are pushing the boundaries across multiple domains. Our global teams offer diverse learning opportunities and varied career pathways for those driven to achieve exceptional results through collective effort.
