About this position

The Department of Computer Science of the University of Copenhagen invites applications for five PhD positions in Machine Learning.

Application link: https://lnkd.in/g_6itXzP
Application deadline: 30 September 2025.
The five projects:
Green Computation Scheduling
Computation has become the backbone of modern society, but it consumes a considerable amount of energy. The project aims to reduce carbon emissions from computation by designing algorithms to schedule computation at times of low carbon intensity of the electricity supply. The challenge is that due to high intermittence of green energy sources and multitude of independent consumers, prediction of carbon intensity is challenging. Even if it was possible to predict the supply, independent attempts to exploit low carbon energy would lead to demand spikes, invalidating the predictions. We aim to address this challenge by building on recent advances in online and reinforcement learning in adversarial environments, and further advancing this field of research. Further details about the project are available here. Candidates applying for this position are expected to have solid theoretical background and mathematical skills. Background in online learning, bandits, and theoretical reinforcement learning is an advantage. The project will be supervised by Yevgeny Seldin and Raghavendra Selvan. For inquiries concerning this project, please, contact Yevgeny Seldin < [email protected] >.

Resource efficiency for generative AI
In this project, we will broadly investigate resource-efficient Large Language Models (LLMs) and their effect on the sustainability of AI. This can be at the level of developing novel algorithms, training, learning and prompting paradigms, or hardware optimization techniques that can result in reductions in the resources required when developing and deploying LLM pipelines.The interplay of resource efficiency with the broader sustainability of Generative AI (in terms of safety, fairness, and access) will be of particular interest. For more details about the project contact Christina Lioma < [email protected] >.
Candidates applying for this position must have strong skills in mathematics and ML, with a drive towards advancing the UN sustainable development goals. The project will be supervised by Christina Lioma, Maria Maistro and Raghavendra Selvan. For inquiries concerning this project, please, contact Christina Lioma < [email protected] >.

Funding details

What's required

Applicants must have a solid theoretical background and strong mathematical skills. Experience in online learning, bandits, and theoretical reinforcement learning is an advantage for the Green Computation Scheduling project. For the Resource Efficiency for Generative AI project, strong skills in mathematics and machine learning are required, along with motivation to advance UN sustainable development goals. No specific GPA or language test requirements are mentioned.
