(Saarbrücken, Germany), directed by Michael Hahn <https://mhahn.info/>,
invites applications for fully funded PhD and postdoc positions, with a
flexible start date.
*
RESEARCH AREAS
*
We’re especially excited about projects on:
* Architectural limitations of large language models (LLMs),
especially from theoretical perspectives
* New architectures and efficient reasoning for LLMs
* Mechanistic interpretability
* Theoretical foundations for AI safety
You’ll have substantial freedom to shape your topic within the lab’s scope.
*ABOUT THE LAB*
The lab is generously supported by an Emmy Noether grant (DFG) and has
substantial GPU resources. We regularly publish at top venues (e.g.,
six NeurIPS/ICML/ICLR papers in 2024–2025; ACL Best Paper 2024) and are
embedded in a world-class environment: Saarland University (Departments
of Computer Science and Language Science & Technology)
