Research & Generative AI

Research Scientist (Intern) (Remote)

Preferable Location(s): London, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
Work Type: Internship
We are looking for a Research Scientist to take up an internship with us; whether you are about to graduate or just looking for some work experience in between your PhD, we would love to have a chat and see how you could help us grow our technology stack.

Synativ is a tech first company and our core product offerings are driven by state-of-the-art innovation. Your role entails following the latest research in the field & engaging with the research community to explore and implement new directions in generative AI which can lead to valuable capabilities for our customers. Join us to build the future of generative AI beyond Stable Diffusion.

This could be a remote role but we love to have you with us in our London office - just let us know what you prefer!

What are we building?


Synativ helps ML engineers and scientists to generate the images they need to improve training of their computer vision models - think of us as Stable Diffusion for engineers. We harness the power of generative AI to allow engineers to quickly and efficiently acquire missing data without resorting to manual data collection and labelling. 

As a researcher at the University of Oxford, our CTO contributed to developing this technology during its early days and we are excited to take it to market as it continues to mature. We are backed by an incredible investor, Sequoia Capital, and are excited to expand our technology & team on this journey.
