  A resident sounds very much like a post doc in the academic world.

    This made me wonder how well they pay, but there is no mention of money anywhere, which maybe makes it _more_ academic than a post-doc :o. application page: https://www.google.com/about/careers/jobs#!t=jo&jid=/google/the-google-brain-residency-2017-program-1600-amphitheatre-pkwy-mountain-view-ca-159360005& https://www.google.com/about/careers/jobs#!t=jo&jid=/google/...

      While a different program, Google's Engineering Residency reportedly pays about $100k, depending on location. I would imagine that the Brain Residency pays something comparable.

        Aye. True story.

          (in case it's not clear, Cinjon is a current brain resident.) And yes - brain residents are full-time engineers and paid as such.

      They came to do a recruitment talk at my university. Per the spokesperson, they pay exactly the same as any other introductory job at google (so a hell of a lot more than academia).
