Job description

Who we are
Odyssey is an AI lab pioneering general world models: causal, multimodal systems that learn to predict and interact with the world over long horizons. This foundational technology promises to revolutionize robotics, science, healthcare, education, gaming, defense, and beyond.
Odyssey's founders previously pioneered the most complex application of physical AI: self-driving cars. They've now brought together a world-class research team from DeepMind, Tesla, Waymo, Meta, Apple, and Wayve, who have made significant contributions to language models (DeepMind Gemini), video models (DeepMind Veo), world models (Wayve GAIA), and autonomous systems (Tesla FSD).
Odyssey has raised significant venture capital from GV, Amazon, AMD, EQT, NVIDIA, Natural Capital, In-Q-Tel, Elad Gil, Jeff Dean, Guillermo Rauch, Garry Tan, Kyle Vogt, and researchers from OpenAI, DeepMind, MSL, Recursive, and Thinking Machines.
What we're looking for
Odyssey is hiring a VP of Research to lead and grow our Frontier Research group, the researchers working at the cutting edge of world model capability, responsible for the first proof points of new algorithms and for pushing the frontier of what world models can do. This is a role for someone who wants to both set the research agenda and stay close enough to shape it directly, not manage from a distance.You'll report directly to Jeff Hawke, our Co-Founder and CTO, and work alongside Odyssey's leaders.
What you'll do
  • Leading and growing the Frontier Research group, hiring, mentoring, and developing researchers at every level.
  • Owning and driving Odyssey's research agenda across world simulation, multimodality, robotics, and multi-agent learning.
  • Defining and communicating a research vision ambitious enough to position Odyssey as the leading voice in world models, one that attracts top talent to the field and to us specifically.
  • Setting the research roadmap and publication strategy, and representing Odyssey's research externally to the broader community.
  • Collaboration across disciplines with other VP-level leaders, driving forward Odyssey's holistic top-level strategy.

Who you are
  • 10+ years of research experience with a strong publication record at top ML venues (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, CVPR, and similar).
  • Deep technical expertise in at least one of generative video models, world models, multimodal learning, reinforcement learning, or robotics.
  • A track record of leading and growing research teams, including mentoring researchers at all levels, not just senior hires.
  • Demonstrated ability to set a research vision that shapes a field and pulls talent toward it.
  • Comfortable in a fast-paced, high-ambiguity environment; startup experience preferred.
  • Equally comfortable partnering with Foundation Models, ML Platform, and Applied AI as with your own researchers.
  • Willing to be in the office 3+ days a week, ideally full-time, based in London.
  • Genuinely motivated by Odyssey's mission to discover the GPT-3 moment for world models, not just intellectually curious about it.
