PhD position

The PhD position is fully funded for three years and open to candidates with a 
Master’s degree or equivalent in Computer Science or a related field. The PhD 
student’s research is expected to focus on explanation steering for 
human-centric RAG. The ideal candidate would thus have an educational 
background, prior research or work experience in ML or NLP.

The PhD student would be supervised by Isabelle 
Augenstein<https://isabelleaugenstein.github.io/> and co-supervised by Irina 
Shklovski<https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=ufIlFCIAAAAJ&hl=en>, and

Postdoc position

The postdoc position is also offered for three years and open to candidates 
with a PhD degree in Computer Science or another relevant field. The postdoc’s 
duties will be to conduct research on user-centric RAG and information needs of 
people interacting with AI. The ideal candidate would thus have an educational 
background, prior research or work experience at the intersection of 
Human-Computer Interaction and Natural Language Processing.

The postdoc would work with Irina 
Shklovski<https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=ufIlFCIAAAAJ&hl=en> and 
Isabelle Augenstein<https://isabelleaugenstein.github.io/>, and also
