Postdoctoral Positions

ABOUT CROSS LABS

We’re hiring talented early-career individuals for a wide variety of projects for our teams in Tokyo and Kyoto. Our mission is to bridge the divide between intelligence science and AI technology at the service of human society. To achieve this, we're building a team of individuals whose interests cover diverse topics including artificial life, cognitive neuroscience, collective intelligence, deep learning, robotics, computational linguistics, mathematics, physics, art, science communication, education, and more. We encourage team members to explore a topic that interests them and pushes us closer to making science fiction a reality. To see a few of our current and ongoing projects, visit https://www.crosslabs.org/blog.

We have a number of postdoctoral positions fully funded by Cross Labs, attributed on a competitive base. Additionally, please be aware that there are several funding options by the Japanese Society for Promotion of Science (JSPS), that fully fund postdoctoral fellowships for overseas applicants. We recommend JSPS fellowships to candidates, as an easy way to maximize the chance of successful postdoc application to Cross Labs. Again, there are a number of country-specific programs, information about which can usually be found on that country’s embassy website. Prospective postdocs are invited to contact us with further questions. We may be able to offer specific advice and help direct them towards specific sources of funding, especially for situations out of the ordinary.
