[AI Research Div.] Postdoctoral Researcher - LLMs (계약직)

The role

The Postdoctoral Researcher will analyze the principles of Large Language Models (LLM) to improve efficiency, stability, and performance. They will also develop Gaming Agents and explore LLM applications in Physical AI and World Models.

What you will do

• Analyze LLM principles theoretically and empirically to propose and verify new analysis perspectives and algorithms.
• Explore new LLM capabilities such as tool use, agentic learning, and reasoning for interactive environments.
• Explore LLM usability in Physical AI and World Models to create new interactive intelligence.
• Collaborate with various research areas to develop research results into actual game production and play experiences.
• Lead in-depth research in interest areas and publish results as Tech Reports or at major AI conferences like NeurIPS, ICLR, and ICML.

Required qualifications

• PhD in AI, Computer Science, Statistics, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, or related fields (or expected before joining)
• Experience in theoretical or empirical analysis or modeling research of Large Language Models (LLM)
• Deep understanding of factors affecting LLM performance such as model architecture, training algorithms, and optimization techniques
• Experience in research and experimentation using Python and deep learning frameworks (PyTorch, JAX, etc.)
• Quantitative analysis skills including model performance evaluation, benchmark design, and experiment automation
• Smooth communication skills
• CV (guideline provided)
• Transcript
• Portfolio

Nice to have

• First author publications or presentations/awards at top-tier AI conferences (NeurIPS, ICLR, ICML, etc.)
• Deep research experience in LLM internal structure analysis, scaling laws, representation learning, or model interpretability
• Experience in training or analyzing Large-scale Language Models
• Having a personal research vision and agenda in specific LLM research areas (e.g., scaling, reasoning, interpretability, etc.)

Benefits

• Top-tier industry compensation
• Research infrastructure for large-scale LLM training and experimentation
• Support for external research activities such as conference participation and presentations
• Environment for sharing expertise and growing together
