Senior Scientists

Tokyo & Kyoto

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.
