Are you passionate about foundational research on mechanistic interpretability and AI reasoning and are looking for postdoctoral opportunities? We have an open two-year position embedded in the European Research Council (ERC)-funded project “Explainable and Robust Automatic Fact Checking (ExplainYourself)”, as well the Pioneer Centre for AI.
The postdoc position is offered for two years and open to candidates with a PhD degree in Computer Science or another relevant field. Their core duty will be to advance our understanding of how LLMs acquire, integrate and reason over evolving, pluralistic knowledge using mechanistic interpretability methods. This can involve the development of novel conceptual frameworks, methods, or empirical studies. The postdoc’s duties will also to a small degree include teaching or supervision. The ideal candidate would have an educational background, prior research or work experience on Natural Language Processing, Machine Learning, and/or Explainable AI. The postdoctoral researcher will work with Isabelle Augenstein, and also collaborate with the larger project team.
