Postdoctoral Researcher for the ERC Advanced Grant InterText at UKP Lab, TU Darmstadt
The UKP Lab at Technische Universität Darmstadt, led by Prof. Iryna Gurevych is one of the world's leading NLP labs.
If you work on LLMs that reason across complex documents, not just within them, this role is for you. You'll develop an original research program within the ERC Advanced Grant InterText, with a focus on:
🔹Multi-document reasoning and long-context LLMs
🔹AI for Science: scientific evidence synthesis, claim verification
🔹Automated fact-checking and multimodal misinformation detection, incl. verification of AI slop
🔹Human-centric and agentic approaches as a complementary focus: LLM agents, tool use, multi-agent collaboration
Bottom-up proposals that connect to the InterText vision are very welcome.
You bring:
• PhD (completed or near completion) in Natural Language Processing, Machine Learning, Computer Science, or a related discipline
• a strong publication record at top-tier venues,
• and the drive to lead an independent research line.
