About this position
PhD opportunity in Montréal: Human-Guided Evaluation of Generative AI Systems. This project asks how AI systems can be evaluated in realistic settings, and how to decide which tests or expert judgments provide the most valuable evidence about system risks. The doctoral work will explore probabilistic modelling, adaptive testing, simulated users, and targeted human feedback to build better ways of assessing generative AI.
The research connects mathematical foundations with experimentation on language models, with a strong focus on reliability, uncertainty, and the efficient use of human expertise. The position is within REGARD and mentions research activities at ILLS and Mila - Quebec AI Institute in Montréal.
The advert also notes a possible cotutelle between Université Paris-Saclay and McGill University, suggesting an international research environment bridging institutions in France and Canada. The topic is well suited to a student who wants to combine theory with experimentation and contribute to methods for evaluating AI systems.

What's required
A master’s degree or equivalent in computer science, mathematics, statistics, engineering, or a related discipline is required. Applicants should have a solid foundation in probability, statistics, and machine learning, with programming experience in Python. Experience with natural language processing, language models, active learning, uncertainty quantification, or reinforcement learning would be an asset. Candidates should be able to read, write, and communicate in scientific English. The project seeks a curious, rigorous, and motivated candidate; independence, teamwork, and enthusiasm for international scientific collaboration are valued, and candidates with complementary theoretical or experimental strengths are welcome.
