We work at the intersection of clinical psychology and artificial intelligence, developing tools that make psychological support more accessible to everyday users. Our team combines technology and clinical expertise to build AI systems grounded in evidence-based therapeutic frameworks, and to conduct the research needed to understand how these systems perform in the real world. The Role This is a research-primary position , with the possibility of limited clinical work as part of the role. While the majority of your time will be devoted to conducting the science that makes AI-assisted mental health support more effective, safer, and better understood, there may be opportunities to engage with clients in contexts that directly inform the research programme. You will join as our founding Research Psychologist , embedded within a research programme spanning clinical framework validation, AI model quality improvement, therapeutic intervention design, and prospective outcome research. We see this as a collaborative role. While a research roadmap is in place, we actively welcome the appointed candidate's expertise and perspective in shaping how the programme develops. Your clinical and research judgment will directly inform the questions we ask, the methods we use, and the direction we take. This is also a founding role in a growing team . We intend to expand the research function with additional hires in future. You will help establish the standards and protocols that future colleagues will build upon. What You Will Do Your work will span four broad areas, with specific priorities and methods developed collaboratively with you upon appointment: Clinical Quality Oversight Provide independent psychological judgment on AI-generated conversation quality, contributing to ongoing quality assurance and the development of psychological standards for AI-assisted therapeutic interactions. Framework Validation Lead the expert validation of our internal AI therapy evaluation framework (the Conversation Quality Index), coordinating with external clinical raters and refining the framework based on human clinical judgment. AI Model and Intervention Development Contribute therapeutic expertise to the improvement of our AI therapy system — including authoring reference therapeutic responses, reviewing AI-generated content, and designing structured therapeutic programmes suitable for AI-assisted delivery.
