Job Description

PhD Project in Cultural Reasoning with Language Models The AI Section at the Department of Computer Science invites applicants for a PhD fellowship in computational modelling and evaluation of cultura

Key Highlights

  • construct datasets and benchmarks linking literary passages, relevant cultural and historical context, textual evidence and expert or reader interpretations;
  • analyse what cultural knowledge and interpretive strategies language models use, where their interpretations fail and how confidently they present uncertain conclusions;
  • develop methods for grounding interpretations in evidence and for representing uncertainty, ambiguity and multiple plausible interpretations;
  • evaluate the resulting methods through automatic experiments and studies with literary scholars and other readers; and
  • publish the results in leading venues in natural language processing, artificial intelligence and computational humanities.

Qualifications

Required Qualifications

  • A master’s degree or equivalent qualification relevant to the PhD project.
  • Strong programming skills, preferably in Python, and experience with machine learning or natural language processing tools.
  • Knowledge of modern NLP and language models and an ability to design, implement and evaluate computational experiments.
  • Experience with one or more of the following is an advantage: language model evaluation, retrieval or retrieval-augmented generation, data annotation, interpretability, multilingual NLP or computational humanities.
  • Relevant research experience, publications, thesis work or professional activities.
  • Ability to work independently, formulate research questions and collaborate across computer science and the humanities.
  • A curious and critical mindset with a strong interest in culture, interpretation and responsible AI.
  • Excellent written and spoken English. Knowledge of a Scandinavian language or experience with literary analysis is an advantage but not a requirement.
