About this position

University of Florida is advertising a Postdoctoral Scholar in Natural Language Processing and Mammalian Evolution based in Gainesville, Florida, United States.

This interdisciplinary postdoc sits at the intersection of natural language processing, large language models, information extraction, machine learning, ecology, evolutionary biology, biodiversity informatics, and bioinformatics. The project aims to build a human-in-the-loop AI pipeline that reads scientific literature at scale, extracts consumer-food relationships, and converts qualitative dietary descriptions into standardized ordinal rankings for mammalian evolutionary research.

The successful candidate will help develop the dietary ranking framework and database, contribute to LLM-based extraction methods, analyze large-scale dietary datasets, and work with an interdisciplinary team of ecologists, biodiversity scientists, and AI researchers. The role also includes publishing in scientific journals, contributing to grant proposals, mentoring students, and helping shape a growing research program.

Eligibility highlights: a Ph.D. in NLP, computer science, data science, ecology, evolutionary biology, biodiversity informatics, bioinformatics, or a closely related field is required (completed or expected before the start date). Applicants should have research experience in NLP/LLMs/information extraction or in ecology/evolutionary biology/biodiversity informatics, strong Python and scientific computing skills, experience building and evaluating computational pipelines, and strong communication skills with a publication record or strong publication trajectory.

Preferred experience includes transformer models, prompting, named entity recognition, relation extraction, scientific text mining, biodiversity datasets, annotation workflows, statistical and phylogenetic analyses, HPC/cloud computing, FAIR/open science practices, and mentoring students.

Funding: salary is listed as $60,000 per year. The appointment is initially for one year and may be renewed for up to three years depending on performance and funding.

How to apply: submit the application online through the University of Florida jobs portal. A complete application includes a CV, a two-page letter of intent, and contact information for three professional references. Initial review begins on 2026-10-15, and only complete applications will be reviewed.
