R&D Scientist – Probabilistic Machine Learning & Bayesian Inference
Location: Berlin
Full time (40h/week)
Vision being the dominant human sense, eye tracking constitutes a powerful approach for understanding the human mind! At Pupil Labs, our mission is to provide cutting-edge eye-tracking solutions, which are more robust, accurate, accessible, and user-friendly than ever before. Already today, our products empower thousands of users in academia and industry, clinical surgeons, elite athletes, astronauts on the International Space Station, and many more. Unlocking the full potential of eye-tracking technology relies on solving hard research problems, ranging from core gaze-estimation algorithms to developing cloud-based algorithmic tools allowing for the high-level analysis of terabytes of egocentric video data.
The interdisciplinary R&D team at Pupil Labs, comprising members with backgrounds in Computer Science, Computational Neuroscience, Mathematics, and Physics, is tackling these challenges head-on! In close collaboration with other engineering teams, we identify promising R&D avenues and take pride in seeing our results swiftly integrated into the latest products shipped to our customers.
To support our efforts, we are looking to grow our R&D team in Berlin with a full-time R&D Scientist with expertise in probabilistic machine learning and Bayesian inference. This is an on-site position (with up to two home-office days per week).
Pupil Labs offers a competitive salary, flexible work arrangements, a great team of coworkers, a young and dynamic company structure, and a culture of participation and feedback.
You are excited about joining an ambitious, international, diverse, interdisciplinary, young, enthusiastic, and talented team of researchers and software specialists? You have a growth mindset, thrive in fast-paced work environments, and enjoy working on hard problems? Then we are looking forward to hearing from you!
What you would do
Develop and apply Bayesian inference methods to build probabilistic models for eye-tracking and physiological data.
Design and implement generative models, including energy-based models, normalizing flows, and diffusion models for state estimation and posterior sampling.
Work with uncertain, noisy data and develop robust methods for inference, estimation, and uncertainty quantification in the field of ocular research.
Implement and optimize scalable probabilistic algorithms that can be deployed in real-time or large-scale analysis settings.
Collaborate with our research and engineering teams to bring advanced probabilistic modeling techniques into real-world eye-tracking applications.
Who you are
You hold a PhD in machine learning, statistics, applied mathematics, physics, or a related field.
You have strong expertise in Bayesian machine learning and probabilistic modeling.
You have experience with sampling techniques such as MCMC, Langevin dynamics, Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC), or variational inference.
You are proficient in Python and PyTorch.
You have experience with generative models, including normalizing flows, energy-based models, and diffusion models.
You are comfortable working with uncertain and high-dimensional data and developing methods for uncertainty quantification.
Ideally, you have experience with optimization techniques for probabilistic models, contrastive divergence, or physics-inspired ML.
You are self-motivated, enjoy working in an interdisciplinary setting, and are comfortable in written and spoken English.
Perks
A beautiful office in the heart of Berlin.
Up to two home-office days per week.
15 mobile-office days per year.
Continued learning and professional development (we will sponsor you to attend relevant scientific/developer conferences.
Flexible working hours.
Publishing of scientific articles.
6 weeks of holidays per year.
