About The Job

The Infocomm Technology (ICT) Cluster at the Singapore Institute of Technology invites applications for a Research Fellow on a 1-year contract under an AI Singapore-funded research programme on copyright protection for AI-assisted creative content. The programme develops technical safeguards that make visual content, including video and animation, verifiable, traceable, and revocable in AI-assisted production workflows.

Responsibilities

• Conduct research on robust watermarking for deep learning models and AI-generated visual content, including video and other temporal media.
• Publish research findings in top-tier conferences and journals, and present research outcomes.
• Maintain and update research documentation, code, and the Python programming platform.
• Contribute to project deliverables and reports, and collaborate with project partners.
• Assist with project-related student training.
• Assist with project-related administrative matters.

Requirements

• A PhD in computer science, electrical engineering, or related fields.
• Research experience in deep learning model watermarking, media watermarking, or AI security.
• Proficient in Python machine learning libraries, especially PyTorch.
• Strong technical paper writing skills, with submission and publication in the above areas.
• Self-motivated, able to deliver results within a fixed timeframe, and good at communication and presentation.
• Experience in video watermarking or watermarking for other temporal visual media will be an advantage.
• Experience in model watermarking, watermark removal attacks, or model extraction will be an advantage.
• Familiarity with machine unlearning or concept erasure in generative models will be an advantage.
