About the role

Preferred Qualifications: We seek a computational neurolinguist or psycholinguist whose research bridges linguistics, neuroscience, and next-generation AI. Ideal candidates will use modern computational techniques in combination with neuroimaging and/or behavioral methods to investigate language learning, processing, and representation in the human brain, with possible applications to brain health, aging, and brain-inspired models of natural language understanding. The candidate's work should leverage and extend advances in natural language processing and brain-language modeling. The candidate must demonstrate excellence in research, as evidenced by a strong publication record and the potential to secure external funding, as well as excellence in teaching and mentorship.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
