AI Summary

The role, at a glance.

This is a specialized contract editorial role for an AI/ML-literate writer who can translate research papers, model architectures, and emerging AI trends into accurate, engaging stories. The writer will produce weekly model and research reviews, technical explainers, features, interviews, newsletters, webinar scripts, and social content. The position also requires developing visual narratives through diagrams, charts, infographics, and other multimedia, independently or with design partners. It involves direct collaboration with researchers and engineers, conference coverage, technical fact-checking, and occasional on-camera moderation or hosting. The role is remote within Europe and uses a fixed monthly-retainer contract model with potential conversion to full-time employment.

Sample interview questions
How would you turn a newly published AI research paper into a story for a technically curious audience?

I would first identify the paper's problem statement, core method, evidence, limitations, and practical significance. I would compare it with relevant prior work, validate key interpretations with the authors or subject-matter experts where possible, and build a narrative around what is genuinely new. I would then select visuals, such as an architecture diagram or benchmark chart, that clarify the mechanism rather than merely decorate the article.

How do you ensure technical accuracy without losing editorial clarity?

I separate the technical verification process from the final reader-facing language. I inspect primary sources, reproduce important terminology accurately, and ask researchers targeted questions about assumptions, metrics, and failure modes. Then I write in plain language, retaining necessary nuance and explicitly identifying uncertainty rather than making unsupported simplifications.

Describe how you would evaluate whether a new model announcement represents meaningful progress.

I would examine the claimed contribution, evaluation setup, baseline selection, dataset quality, reproducibility, compute requirements, and disclosed limitations. I would distinguish improvements on a narrow benchmark from improvements that change real-world capability, cost, reliability, or accessibility. I would also seek independent context from relevant researchers and prior literature before characterizing the announcement.

What is your approach to creating visual explanations for complex model architectures?

I begin by defining the single concept the visual must teach, then reduce the architecture to its essential components and data flow. I use labels, hierarchy, and progressive detail so that a reader can understand the high-level mechanism before encountering implementation nuance. For more complex pieces, I work closely with designers while retaining responsibility for technical correctness.

How would you manage the weekly cadence of research reviews while maintaining quality?

I would maintain a repeatable workflow for source triage, paper annotation, expert verification, outlining, visual planning, editing, and publication. I would prioritize stories by novelty, rigor, audience relevance, and timeliness, while reserving time for deeper reporting on consequential work. Clear editorial calendars and lightweight automation for monitoring papers and announcements would help preserve both speed and accuracy.

About Nebius Academy and Nebius Science

Nebius Academy is Nebius’s education and research initiative. It offers advanced programs in machine learning and generative AI, supports academic research through cloud grants, and works with universities and research institutions around the world.

Nebius Science is the research media lab within Nebius Academy. We cover AI research, AI-driven science, and the people and ideas shaping both fields.

Since launching in 2026, Nebius Science has highlighted the work of our researchers, covered major AI conferences and emerging research trends, and developed joint editorial projects with recipients of Nebius research grants.

Our work spans original features, technical explainers, weekly Paper Picks, research webinars, the Nebius Science Paper Club, and interviews with leading researchers.

Our goal is to make serious research accessible without flattening its complexity, and to create a meeting point for researchers, engineers, and the wider scientific community.

The role

Nebius Science is looking for an AI Science Writer based in the EU. This is an ongoing contract role with a fixed monthly retainer and opportunities for growth, including the potential to transition to a full-time position at Nebius.

You may be an AI/ML researcher or engineer who moved into journalism, a computer science graduate with substantial editorial experience, or a technical writer who has worked directly with research teams. Whatever your path, you should be able to read a technical paper, understand the underlying method, assess its limitations, and turn it into a clear and compelling story.

A central part of the role will be producing weekly reviews of new AI models, architectures, and in-house research. You should be able to identify what is genuinely new and explain how it works creatively across a range of formats.

These reviews can be visual as well as written. You will be expected to develop clear, engaging infographics, diagrams, charts, and other multimedia elements, creating them yourself by using AI tools where appropriate or working with designers and multimedia producers.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Produce scientific and technical reviews of new AI models, architectures, papers, in-house research and trends.
  • Turn model architectures and complex technical ideas into clear visual narratives by developing infographics, diagrams, charts, and other multimedia components for your stories.
  • Interview researchers, engineers, founders, and scientific leaders.
  • Cover major research conferences, emerging fields, and important debates across the AI ecosystem.
  • Write and edit across formats, including analytical reports, features, interviews, explainers, newsletters, webinar scripts, and social content.
  • Host or moderate research webinars, interviews, and other on-camera formats.
  • Work with researchers to verify technical claims while preserving a clear editorial voice.
  • Collaborate with designers and multimedia producers on more complex visual stories.
  • Experiment with models, agents, coding, and automation to improve research, editorial, and visual-production workflows.

We expect you to have:

  • Have professional or academic experience in AI/ML research, machine learning engineering, or a closely related technical field.
  • Have a degree in computer science, machine learning, mathematics, physics, engineering, computational science, or another relevant technical discipline.
  • Be comfortable reading papers, inspecting model architectures, comparing results, and discussing technical details directly with researchers.
  • Have strong visual instincts and be able to explain technical mechanisms through diagrams, infographics, charts, or other multimedia formats.
  • Write with precision and flair, using LLMs to support your work, not to do the writing for you.

Benefits & Perks:

  • Competitive compensation
  • Career growth and learning opportunities
  • Flexibility and ownership
  • Collaborative and innovative culture
  • Opportunity to work on impactful AI projects
  • International environment and talented teams
