Research Associate: Language Generation in Neuroscience & AI

University of Cambridge; Cambridge; On-site; GBP 39,000 - 51,000; Full time

Job summary

The University of Cambridge's Cambridge Institute for Technology and Humanity is seeking a Research Associate to join a programme investigating the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying language generation.

The project combines intracranial electrophysiology (iEEG) with cutting-edge computational modelling using Large Language Models (LLMs) to explore how people produce language in natural conversations.

Responsibilities

• Design and conduct experiments to investigate language generation.
• Analyse neural and behavioural datasets collected during studies.
• Develop computational models of language production using Large Language Models (LLMs).
• Translate empirical findings into testable theories of language generation.
• Disseminate results through high-quality publications and conference presentations.
• Contribute to reports and funding applications and foster a collaborative research environment.
