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.
