Linguistic Analysis & Reasoning Evaluator

Your work at IXO

Author IXO problems that test analysis of language structure, meaning and use rather than surface fluency.

Responsibilities

• Test syntactic ambiguity, semantic entailment, phonological patterns or another specialist phenomenon.
• Write reference analyses that connect linguistic data to a defensible generalization.
• Explain exceptions and what evidence would undermine a proposed account.
• Evaluate whether generated analyses parse the data correctly and use the right concepts.
• Document the reasoning so another specialist can assess the conclusion.

Required experience and preparation

An advanced degree in linguistics or a closely related discipline and at least two years of relevant research, teaching or applied linguistics work are required. Bring depth in a subfield such as syntax, semantics, phonology, morphology, sociolinguistics or psycholinguistics, clear written English and availability for at least ten hours per week.

Preferred experience

A PhD, peer-reviewed work, computational/corpus methods or documentation of understudied languages.

Deliverables and engagement

Deliverables include specialist scenarios, reference analyses, evaluation criteria and evidence-based feedback. The work is remote and asynchronous, with the particular scope and schedule agreed before work.

Pay is $55 $105/hr in USD. IXO will agree the scope, deliverables and schedule before work begins.
