Research Scientist - World Modeling
Institute of Foundation Models, Abu Dhabi
The role
Join the PAN world model project – our effort to build world models: foundation models that simulate, predict, and interact with the physical world. As a Research Scientist, you’ll drive the core research behind PAN — large-scale video generation, interactive and action-conditioned world models, and their applications in robotics and embodied AI — and publish at top venues while turning breakthroughs into working systems.
What you will do
- Conduct original research on video world models, video diffusion models, and action-conditioned generation — from idea to publication and deployment.
- Design pre-training and post-training recipes for large-scale diffusion transformers, including scaling-law studies for video pre-training.
- Advance world action models / video action models and their applications in robotics and embodied agents.
