Original job description

About the Institute of Foundation Models

The Institute of Foundation Models (IFM) at MBZUAI is a research lab dedicated to meaningful foundation model research — building models from scratch, understanding them deeply, and publishing work that shapes the field. You’ll work alongside world-class researchers and engineers on problems that directly define the models we ship.

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.
