Postdoc Position in Trustworthy Generative AI

at  Chalmers

Are you passionate about AI and its real-world impact? Join our research team to explore new ways of making generative AI more reliable and safe. Your work will contribute to AI systems that can improve healthcare, transportation, and service robotics—helping to create technology we can trust. As part of our dynamic research environment, you will gain valuable experience in independent research and collaborate with top academics and industry leaders.

ABOUT US

The Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Chalmers and the University of Gothenburg in Sweden is home to approximately 270 employees from over 30 countries. The department is widely recognized for its high-quality research and education.
We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher for a position at the Division of Interaction Design and Software Engineering, with Chalmers University of Technology as the employer. Our division specializes in research and education on complex, software-intensive systems, with strong international collaborations and close ties to local industry. With around 50 researchers, including PhD students, postdocs, and faculty, we are one of the largest software engineering research groups in the world. Our expertise spans AI engineering, software testing, requirements engineering, behavioral software engineering, and software engineering for automotive systems.

ABOUT THE RESEARCH PROJECT

This project explores how neural-symbolic approaches can enhance the trustworthiness of generative AI models, such as large language models (LLMs) and vision-language models (VLMs). We are looking for a motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our team and collaborate with leading faculty members across Europe. The research will focus on verifying generative AI models and designing them to ensure appropriate and safe responses. A key application area is service robotics, particularly robots for elderly care. A robot will be available at Chalmers for evaluating the developed concepts.

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

We welcome applications from candidates with the following qualifications:

• A PhD in computer science, mathematics, or control, obtained within the past three years.*
• A strong publication record in well-regarded computer science conferences.
• Skills in teaching and project management, along with demonstrated research and educational potential.
• Proficiency in verbal and written English. Swedish is not required, and Chalmers offers Swedish language courses.
• The date on your doctoral degree certificate is considered the official completion date. Exceptions to the three-year limit may be granted for parental leave, sick leave, or military service.

The following experience will strengthen your application:

• A background in AI, formal methods, or software engineering.

• Your major responsibility as postdoc is to perform your own research in a research group.
• The position may also include teaching on undergraduate and master’s levels as well as supervising master’s and/or PhD students to a certain extent.
• Another important aspect involves collaboration within academia and with society at large.
