About this position

Cardiff University is advertising a Research Associate position in the NLP team within the School of Computational & Mathematical Sciences.

The project focuses on Responsible AI, foundation models, and multimodal Large Language Models for mental health applications, including the development and evaluation of trustworthy AI methods such as uncertainty estimation and bias assessment. The role also involves building and evaluating foundation and multimodal LLM approaches for psychosis symptom measurement using multimodal mental health data.

This is a research-focused post suitable for candidates with a PhD-level postgraduate degree (or near completion/submission) in a related area, or equivalent industrial experience. Strong expertise in LLMs, Natural Language Processing, Machine Learning, and Responsible AI is expected, along with creativity, innovation, teamwork, and the ability to supervise others.

The post is full-time and fixed term for 24 months. Salary is £41,064 per annum (Grade 6), with annual increments up to £46,049 per annum. The advert mentions blended working flexibility and a supportive working environment, but no student stipend or tuition funding is provided because this is a staff research role rather than a degree studentship.

The closing date is 7 October 2026. Interested applicants should apply via the Cardiff University vacancies page. For an informal discussion, contact Dr Yi Zhou at [email protected]; for application and assessment queries, contact Simon Hogg at [email protected].
