NYU LLM + cognitive science post-doc interest form
Tal Linzen's group at NYU is hiring a post-doc! We're interested in creating language models that process language more like humans than mainstream LLMs do, through architectural modifications and interpretability-style steering. The goal is to model some cool behavioral and neural data from humans (some to be collected) but we expect to do a lot of fundamental modeling and interpretability work. You don't need to have existing experience in cognitive science but you should have an interest in learning more about it. I don't need a full cover letter but if your fit to the position isn't obvious from your CV (e.g. you'd like to move into a new field in your post-doc) feel free to explain in the last question.
