Connectionists: PhD position on Explainable and Factual Language Modelling (Copenhagen, DK)

[Johannes Bjerva]

A fully funded PhD position is available at the Copenhagen campus of the Department of Computer Science, Aalborg University (AAU). The position is on the topic of Explainability and Factuality in Language Modelling [1]. The position is in a thriving NLP research community with interests in multilingual NLP, educational NLP, and NLP Security, currently consisting of three other PhD students and three postdocs. We are particularly interested in candidates with a strong technical background in terms of NLP, ML, or AI more broadly. There is a substantial amount of freedom in terms of research direction, and the conditions offered when doing a PhD in Denmark are hard to beat.

Interested applicants are encouraged to reach out to me at jbjerva at cs.aau.dk<mailto:jbjerva at cs.aau.dk>.

* Application deadline: 6 February 2024
