🌟Job ad🌟 We (Greg Durrett, Matt Lease and I) are hiring a postdoc fellow within the CosmicAI Institute, to do galactic work with LLMs and generative AI! If you would like to push the frontiers of foundation models to help solve myths of the universe, please apply!

Come work with me and my amazing colleagues! #nlproc #LLM

Excited to announce I'll be starting as an assistant professor at TTIC for fall 2026! In the meantime, I'll be graduating and hanging around Ai2 in Seattle🏔️

I'm hiring at least one 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.

Seeing an experiment and thinking "but have they tried X? what if we do Y?" is a key part of research and a start to new discoveries. RexBench tests if coding agents can implement new extensions. It complements recent evals (eg PaperBench from OpenAI) on replication! See 👇

Some personal news ✨ In September, I’m joining UCL as Associate Professor of Computational Linguistics. I’ll be building a lab, directing the MSc programme, and continuing research at the intersection of language, cognition, and AI. 🧵

The Austrian Academy of Sciences is offering a pretty generous package to researchers in the US who would like to come to Austria for a postdoc. stipendien.oeaw.ac.at/en/fellowships…. Please email me if you're interested in applying for this by Jul 25 🧑‍🔬

Our team is hiring a postdoc in (mech) interpretability! The ideal candidate will have research experience in interpretability for text and/or image generation models and be excited about open science! Please consider applying or sharing with colleagues: metacareers.com/jobs/222395396…

Or take the S7 to "Praterstern" or a Railjet to "Wien Hauptbahnhof" which are both even cheaper and directly connect to the U1🚇 which in return takes you both to the conference venue and the city center.

👾 Full-time research assistant position (1 year) with Sebastian Schuster and me! 👾 We're looking for someone to join the research agent evaluation team, starting Fall 2025. Application link to be available soon, but feel free to send us your CV and/or come talk to us at #ACL2025. 🧵

Should have done my research before posting… S7 currently only goes to “Wien Mitte” due to construction work, so no better than the CAT at the moment. Railjets are still running to “Hauptbahnhof” though and generally the fastest and cheapest option. #ACL2025NLP

I’ll be at #ACL2025NLP all week! Talk to me about LLM evals, semantics and pragmatics, strong opinions on what to do/where to eat/which modes of transport to avoid in Vienna, and if you are enjoying your time here, upcoming job opportunities at the University of Vienna.

Looking forward to kicking off the day2 at #ACL2025NLP with my keynote! We'll be tackling new frontiers of AI alignment. 🗓️ Tuesday, 9:00 AM 🗣️ "Who's Gold? Re-imagining Alignment for Truly Beneficial AI" Here's a sneak peek of the talk. #AI #AIAlignment #NLProc #ACL2025NLP

I'm grateful for the recognition, it's was great to work on this project with Michael Hu, Jackson Petty, Chuan Shi and William Merrill!

Work with me and Najoung Kim 🫠 on a cool project evaluating the latest agents. Joining us at BU would be preferable but if you make a strong case, we **may** also be able to hire you in Vienna. #nlproc

faculty opening in computational linguistics and cognitive models of language and cognition at the University of Trento (deadline Sep 14): cimec.unitn.it/en/71/language… I visited this department a couple of times and loved the science, the city, and the proximity to lago di garda!

I am hiring a PhD student to start my lab at UCL! Get in touch if you have any questions, the deadline to apply through ELLIS is 31 October. More details🧵

I’m recruiting PhD students for 2026! If you are interested in robustness, training dynamics, interpretability for scientific understanding, or the science of LLM analysis you should apply. BU is building a huge LLM analysis/interp group and you’ll be joining at the ground floor.

If you want to learn AI from the experts, keep reading. 💡 Together with @UCL, we made a free AI Research Foundations curriculum – available now on Google Skills. With lessons from a Gemini Lead like Oriol Vinyals, you'll explore how to code better, fine-tune an AI model and

Personally, Christopher Manning is such an inspiration and someone I have unfalteringly admired in the past 15 years or so of working in NLP. Imagine producing phd students who have, in their own right, become stars, repeatedly producing test-of-time science, being responsible for
