The Department of Computer Science, University of Copenhagen, invites applications for a postdoc position within Human-Computer Interaction. The candidate will work on an interdisciplinary project on Human-Centered Explainable Retrieval-Augmented LLMs funded by Independent Research Foundation Denmark, and led by P1 Co-lead, Prof. Isabelle Augenstein and Prof. Irina Shklovski.

The postdoc’s duties will be to conduct research on user-centric RAG and information needs of people interacting with AI in collaboration with the project team. In addition to the PIs and the postdoc, the team also includes a PhD student as well as external collaborators, including in information retrieval. The postdoc’s duties will also to a smaller degree include teaching and supervision.

The position is open from 1 September 2026 or as soon as possible thereafter. The position is for 3 years.

The Department of Computer Science at the University of Copenhagen invites applicants for a fully-funded  PhD Project in Human-Computer Interaction for Behaviour Change in Extended Reality.

Extended reality (XR) technologies, such as virtual reality and augmented reality enable experiences that are impossible or difficult in the real world. Prior work has suggested that such experiences in XR can influence users' behaviour outside of XR, for example, by adopting characteristics of an avatar one embodied in XR. This PhD project will work towards identifying, investigating, and evaluating the underlying mechanisms of XR as a behaviour change technology.

The principal supervisor is P1 Co-Lead, Professor Kasper Hornbæk, kash@di.ku.dk; the project is led by Assistant Professor, Teresa Hirzle, tehi@di.ku.dk.

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 Human-Centric Explainable Natural Language Understanding.

The position is offered in the context of an interdisciplinary project on Human-Centered Explainable Retrieval-Augmented LLMs funded by Independent Research Foundation Denmark, led by P1 Co-lead, Prof. Isabelle Augenstein and Prof. Irina Shklovski.

The PhD student’s research is expected to focus on explanation steering for human-centric RAG. Furthermore, the student recruited is expected define their PhD project within the scope of the overall project and collaborate with the larger project team.

The start date is expected to be 1 September 2026 or as soon as possible thereafter.

The Pioneer center AI, the University of Copenhagen, and Copenhagen University Hospital Rigshospitalet invite applicants for a two-year postdoc position, fully funded by the Innovation Fund Denmark Industrial Postdoc (Public organization) program and the Danish Child Cancer Foundation.

The project focuses on developing and validating advanced transformer-based deep learning models for the prediction of treatment-induced toxicities, focusing on severe neutropenia, in pediatric leukemia patients. The work integrates state-of-the-art machine learning with large-scale clinical and longitudinal medical data and aims to translate methodological advances into clinically actionable decision-support tools.

The project group comprises pediatric oncologists and clinical immunologists from Rigshospitalet, clinical pharmacologists from Bispebjerg Hospital and computational scientists from Pioneer center AI at Copenhagen University. The candidate will be spending time both at Copenhagen University and Rigshospitalet during the project period.

The position is open from 1 April 2026, or as soon as possible thereafter.

For further information about the position, please contact: P1 Co-lead Professor Mads Nielsen, Department of Computer Science, University of Copenhagen, madsn@di.ku.dk.

On-going positions, various deadlines

The Department of Computer Science at The Technical Faculty of IT and Design invites applications for four fully funded PhD stipends in the area of Natural Language Processing (NLP), AI, and LLM Security.

As a PhD student, you will conduct research at the intersection of Security, Safety, and Privacy in Natural Language Processing and AI, with a particular focus on Large Language Models (LLMs) and LLM-based systems.

The positions are open for appointment from May 1, 2026 or soon thereafter - starting dates after the summer of 2026 are also possible. The duration of the positions are three years each. The positions are at AAU’s Copenhagen campus, located at the waterfront in Sydhavnen.

The positions are hosted within the Natural Language Processing (NLP) research group at AAU Copenhagen, and are supervised by Professor Johannes Bjerva.
