Why this role?

Cohere Labs is the dedicated research arm of Cohere. Our mission is to tackle foundational questions in artificial intelligence by bringing together researchers across disciplines to study not only how AI systems are built, but how they reshape economies, labor markets, and institutions. As AI technologies rapidly diffuse into the economy, there is an urgent need for rigorous, theory?informed, and empirically grounded research on their implications for productivity, inequality, skills, organizational design, and the future of work. This role is designed to create space for exactly that kind of work.

The Research Fellow (Future of Work & AI) position is a 1?year, full?time research appointment aimed at advanced PhD students, postdocs, or early?career researchers in economics, political economy, public policy, or related social sciences who want to engage deeply with frontier AI systems while maintaining scholarly independence and publication?oriented research.

What Makes This Role Unique
  • Designed for economists, not engineers: No expectation that you are an ML practitioner, intellectual curiosity and analytical rigor matter most
  • Research?first: Time and support to write, think, and publish
  • Interdisciplinary exposure: Work alongside leading AI researchers while maintaining disciplinary depth
  • Societal relevance: Direct engagement with questions shaping policy, labor, and economic futures
  • Global perspective: Opportunity to study impacts beyond high?income, English?speaking contexts
You are likely a strong fit if you have
  • A PhD (or are an advanced PhD candidate) in Economics, Political Economy, Public Policy, or a closely related field
  • Strong training in economic theory, econometrics, or applied micro / macro
  • A demonstrated research interest in technology, innovation, labor, growth, or institutions
  • A publication record (or pipeline) in peer?reviewed academic venues
  • An interest in engaging seriously with AI systems and their real?world deployment
  • A desire to collaborate across disciplines while retaining intellectual independence
You may be especially excited about this role if you
  • Want to study AI as a general?purpose technology, not just a tool
  • Enjoy connecting theory to emerging empirical realities
  • Care about the long?run societal consequences of technological change
  • Are interested in shaping conversations at the intersection of academia, industry, and policy
  • Value mentorship, open science, and collaborative research cultures
Diversity

We value and celebrate diversity and strive to create an inclusive work environment for all. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and are committed to providing equal opportunities. Should you require any accommodations during the recruitment process, please submit an Accommodations Request Form, and we will work together to meet your needs.

  • Work closely with a team on the cutting edge of AI research
  • Weekly lunch stipend, in?office lunches & snacks
  • Full health and dental benefits, including a separate budget to take care of your mental health
  • 100% Parental Leave top?up for up to 6 months
  • Personal enrichment benefits towards arts and culture, fitness and well?being, quality time, and workspace improvement
