Additional Knowledge And Professional Experience * Strong track record of high-quality publications in top-tier conferences like NeurIPS, ICLR, or ACL. * Significant contributions to Open Source projects in the field of LLMs or agents. * Fluency in Spanish is highly valued. * Knowledge of co-official languages of Spain such as Catalan, Basque or Galician is a significant plus. Competences * Strong leadership and mentorship abilities to guide junior researchers. * Excellent communication skills for technical and non-technical audiences. * Project management skills with the ability to define and execute research roadmaps. * Proactive attitude and ability to work in a high-performance computing environment. ## Description The Language Modeling Team is looking for candidates with a background in computational linguistics with experience in Language Technologies, specifically in Deep Learning and large language model building, and possibly in other areas of Natural Language and Speech Processing. The successful candidate will work in a highly sophisticated HPC environment, have access to state-of-the-1art systems and computational infrastructures, and establish collaborations with experts in different areas at the local and international levels. The researcher will implement innovative techniques for language modelling and evaluation in the HPC environment. Key Duties * Lead the design and implementation of agentic workflows focusing on multi-step reasoning, tool-use and autonomous decision-making. * Architect the integration of Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Function Calling capabilities into the group's core language models. * Supervise the development of robust agent evaluation frameworks to measure reliability, safety and tool-interaction accuracy. * Collaborate with the infrastructure team to ensure scalable deployment of agentic systems in high-performance computing environments. * Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior and intermediate researchers by defining the roadmap for the agentic capabilities of the models. * Contribute to the scientific community through high-quality publications in top-tier conferences like NeurIPS, ICLR or ACL and Open Source projects., Curriculum Analysis: Evaluation of previous experience and/or scientific history, degree, training, and other professional information relevant to the position. * 40 points Interview phase: The highest-rated candidates at the curriculum level will be invited to the interview phase, conducted by the corresponding department and Human Resources. In this phase, technical competencies, knowledge, skills, and professional experience related to the position, as well as the required personal competencies, will be evaluated. * 60 points. A minimum of 30 points out of 60 must be obtained to be eligible for the position. The recruitment panel will be composed of at least three people, ensuring at least 25% representation of women. In accordance with OTM-R principles, a gender-balanced recruitment panel is formed for each vacancy at the beginning of the process. After reviewing the content of the applications, the panel will begin the interviews, with at least one technical and one administrative interview. At a minimum, a personality questionnaire as well as a technical exercise will be conducted during the process. The panel will make a final decision, and all individuals who participated in the interview phase will receive feedback with details on the acceptance or rejection of their profile. At BSC, we seek continuous improvement in our recruitment processes. For any suggestions or comments/complaints about our recruitment processes, please contact ******. Deadline The vacancy will remain open until a suitable candidate has been hired. ## Related Videos - [Getting Started with Machine Learning](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/260-getting-started-with-machine-learning) - [AI Agents & Agentic AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2017-ai-agents-agentic-ai) - [Watch Tests Go Brrrr! : Getting Started with Cypress in ReactJS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/282-watch-tests-go-brrrr-getting-started-with-cypress-in-reactjs) - [Photonic Computing: Programming a New Class of AI Accelerators (incl.
