The Opportunity

This is a rare opportunity to build and lead a research group to invent the future of video generation for creators, from filmmakers to social video creators. Although text-to-video models are constantly improving, we believe that for people to truly turn their creative vision to reality, they will need a great deal of control - simple but powerful forms of control for social video creators and endless possibilities with precision for filmmakers. The goal is to allow them to rapidly iterate on their ideas and craft their vision with both semantic and low-level control.

Your group will invent these control mechanisms to drive the next wave of video creation. You will have a great deal of freedom to develop your research agenda, be a core part of the academic research community, and publish, all while having a big real-world impact. As an established leader in video production with industry leading products, we have a deep understanding of the space at Adobe and extensive partnerships with creators. So you will have a unique combination of a world class research organization, top video products, and a company in which creativity is in our DNA. You will work closely with filmmakers, product teams, Adobe Research more broadly, applied ML teams, Design and more.

We believe that the team you build will invent what will become a core part of the future of filmmaking.
