Jobs

The Natural Language Processing Section at the Department of Computer Science, Faculty of Science at the University of Copenhagen invites applicants for a PhD fellowship in Interpretable Natural Language Processing.

The PhD fellowship is offered with Pepa Atanasova as the primary (de facto) supervisor, and co-supervised with Isabelle Augenstein, who serves as the formally designated principal supervisor. The successful candidate will engage in developing innovative methods for interpreting and explaining the inner workings of natural language processing models. The research will broadly align with the main interests of primary supervisor and the objectives of the CopeNLU group. It may include exploring the mechanisms by which language models process and represent knowledge, devising methods to provide reliable explanations for models’ decision-making processes, or developing techniques to ensure accountability in model’s behavior.

We are affiliated with the Natural Language Processing Section in the Department of Computer Science, Faculty of SCIENCE, University of Copenhagen, as well as with the Pioneer Centre for AI, at the Department of Computer Science, University of Copenhagen. 

Are you interested in investigating the responsible and innovative use of Large Language Models (LLMs) and generative AI (GenAI) in mental health? If so, this PhD position could be the perfect opportunity for you. You will have the opportunity to work collaboratively within the HORIZON-MSCA AlignAI network and work closely with leading experts in the field, gaining hands-on experience with cutting-edge research at the intersection of Computer Science, statistics and Mental Health.

We are seeking a PhD student to join our research team as part of a prestigious Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Doctoral Network (DN) project: AlignAI (https://alignai.eu/). The AlignAI Doctoral Network aims to train doctoral candidates in the interdisciplinary Large Language Model (LLM) research field. It focuses on aligning these models with human values to ensure their development and deployment are ethically sound and socially beneficial. By integrating expertise from social sciences, humanities, and technical disciplines, the project will address critical issues such as explainability and fairness, ensuring LLMs contribute positively to education, mental health, and news consumption.

Further information may be obtained from Sneha Das (sned@dtu.dk) or Line Clemmensen (lkhc@dtu.dk).

The Department of Computer Science at the Faculty of Science, University of Copenhagen, is looking for an IT Officer (programmer) to work within the project ‘Deep Fetal Development: AI for Fetal Development Analysis and Impact on Future Health of Mother and Child’ with effect from 1 February 2025 to 31 January 2027.

This project aims to study the impact of maternal health and parental genetics on the healthy development of children during pregnancy. The project will analyze pregnancies in Denmark since 2009 using a comprehensive dataset of more than 700,000 babies, which includes over 20 million ultrasound images from the first, second, and potentially third trimesters.

These AI-driven models will also link genetic information to health outcomes, allowing us to assess risks of future diseases for both the child and mother. Ultimately, this research could lead to improved prenatal screenings, enabling early detection and intervention in cases where fetal development is at risk. Furthermore, it may help identify mothers at risk of conditions such as cardiovascular disease or diabetes.

The project includes prospective clinical trials to validate the findings, testing enhanced screening methods in 1,000 pregnancies. Our goal is to ensure healthier outcomes for both mothers and children by improving prenatal care and early disease detection.

Aarhus University is hiring Assistant and Associate Professor to contribute to the future of the Department of Computer Science. We expect to hire four candidates in 2025. Therefore, the department invites applications from candidates in computer science that are driven by excellence in research and teaching as well as external collaboration on societal challenges.

The department has world-class research groups within “Algorithms, Data Structures and Foundations of Machine Learning”, “Data-Intensive Systems”, “Cryptography and Cyber Security”, “Computational Complexity and Game Theory”, “Logic and Semantics”, “Ubiquitous Computing and Interaction”, “Collaboration and Computer-Human Interaction”, and “Programming Languages”. 

We encourage applicants to strengthen the above groups. Additionally, we wish to expand competencies within topics like Machine Learning/Artificial Intelligence, NLP/Large Language Models, Quantum Computing, Quantum Cryptography, Economics and Computation, Tangible/Physical Computing,  Systems and Networks, and Software Engineering.

We are looking for both tenure-track Assistant professors and Associate professors, and we generally encourage candidates within all areas of Computer Science – not restricted to the  above – to apply.

This role will bring language technologies into users’ interactions with our world-class video management systems and build on our best-in-class video analytics, to explore new ways in which to provide multi-modal and agentic means to elicit human intentions and effect outcomes. Working both within the HCAI team, and with our colleagues in the Emerging Products function, this presents a unique opportunity to iteratively develop solutions with our large customer base (e.g., half a million installations of our VMS) and partner network.

Your primary responsibilities are:

• Establishing a role for NLP topics within Human-Centered AI mission and strategy 
• Proposing concrete applications of genAI, forming through collaboration novel products 
• Building a roadmap for NLP capabilities and strategy, both within the HCAI team and beyond in the company

You will be a part of the newly established VP area Emerging Products within Milestone’s Product and Technology function, made up of six teams including Perceptual AI, Human-Centered AI and analytics deployment.
