Applicants are invited for a PhD fellowship/scholarship at Graduate School of Technical Sciences, Aarhus University, Denmark, within the Ecoscience programme.

This project takes advantage of rapid developments in the field of multi-modal (e.g. vision language) foundation models to address key challenges for biodiversity monitoring. Such models can perform tasks such as fine-grained classification involved in species recognition and extraction of behavioural information from videos from camera traps. Yet, new biodiversity observations are made at an ever-increasing pace and may not immediately be incorporated into such general models. Thus, a flexible approach is needed to take full advantage of large deep learning models on the one hand and the rapidly developing new data streams from camera traps for insects and vertebrates that are coming online.

Professor Toke Thomas Høye, tth@ecos.au.dk is the main supervisor, and P1 Director, Professor Serge Belongie, sjb@aicentre.dk is the co-supervisor.

The position is available from 1 April 2026 or later. 

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.

Start date: 6 February 2026.

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

We are seeking to recruit a postdoc within Human-Computer Interaction to work on an interdisciplinary project on Human-Centered Explainable Retrieval-Augmented LLMs funded by Independent Research Foundation Denmark, led by Isabelle Augenstein and 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.
