Arbetsbeskrivning
AI Sweden is now looking for a number of Senior Researchers to join us in taking the next steps building a new and collaborative research environment.
Artificial intelligence is transforming society. AI Sweden is the national center for applied artificial intelligence, jointly funded by the Swedish government and our partners, both public and private. Our mission is to accelerate the use of AI for the benefit of our society, our competitiveness, and for everyone living in Sweden.
We are now looking for a number of Senior Researchers to join us in taking the next steps building a new and collaborative research environment providing research and innovation beyond state of the art.
About the position
In this role you will contribute to cutting edge AI methods, systems, and applications, connecting theoretical results with implementation and real-world problems and scenarios.
In your daily work, you will work closely with fellow researchers, technical experts, and developers from AI Sweden, industry partners, public sector, AI startups, and university research groups in Sweden and internationally.
Currently, we are looking for senior researchers for two of our strategic initiatives, Natural Language Understanding (NLU) and Decentralized AI, each with long-term investments and a number of underlying projects and use cases.
Natural Language Understanding
Our NLU research focuses specifically on developing very large scale language models for the Swedish language. Such models require intensive amounts of data and compute, and our goal is to promote and facilitate collaborative efforts in Sweden and in the Nordic region to accelerate their use and applicability.
Decentralized AI
This is an overarching strategic initiative at AI Sweden addressing any and all challenges related to unconventional and emerging technologies to facilitate the training of AI algorithms in a distributed way. We are focusing on AI applications restricted by privacy or computational limitations in sectors such as healthcare, automotive and space.
More about our strategic initiatives.
AI Sweden's team of about 50 people primarily work from Gothenburg, Stockholm, Örebro, Linköping, Lund, Luleå, Sundsvall, and Skellefteå. Independent of where you are located, in this role you will spend time in Stockholm and Gothenburg regularly.
We believe that as a person you’re
a curious learner and problem solver.
creative with an entrepreneurial mindset.
adaptive and enjoy working in an agile environment.
a team player, but have the ability to initiate and organize your work and take initiatives and decisions.
passionate about both the fundamentals and the latest ML models and developing the field of NLU and/or Decentralized AI.
And workwise, you’re
equipped with a PhD in a relevant academic field with a proven ability to develop and lead research efforts. Practical application experience is definitely meriting.
highly knowledgeable in AI, ML methods and experienced from applying them in practice.
an excellent communicator, both verbally and in writing. (English)
good at explaining advanced solutions and project results also to a non-technical audience.
You probably have a few years working experience. With that said, your personality, commitment, and willingness to contribute to building a world-leading research and development environment is what matters the most to us.
Why work for AI Sweden?
At AI Sweden, you’ll be part of a diverse and highly skilled team with inspiring colleagues all working with a higher purpose in mind than “just” tech. Journalists, linguists, policy professionals, leading AI scientists, historians, entrepreneurs, change leaders, and many more.
As an organization, we’re uniquely positioned at the sweet spot of governmental oomph and startup nimbleness. Small enough to stay adaptive and have fun but backed by and in close contact with both state and industry, both private and public. A hybrid, just like you.
And, we can most certainly be a platform helping you realize your ideas. Bring a good one, big or small, and we most likely will support and co-create with you.
In short, we like to believe we offer our staff a place to grow, an environment for personal development.
An equal and fair working environment
We strongly believe in diversity and inclusion and are acutely aware of the skewed gender balance in our industry. We actively strive to put together a diverse team in terms of age, gender, and background.
Naturally, we’re under a collective agreement (“kollektivavtal”) and offer everything that comes with it in terms of annual leave, pensions, wellness allowance (“friskvårdsbidrag”), and such.
