The Trustworthy AI Lab at The University of Alabama is recruiting multiple fully funded PhD and graduate students to start in Spring 2027. The positions are based in the Department of Computer Science and are focused on artificial intelligence, machine learning, security, and privacy. Students will conduct research at the intersection of trustworthy and secure machine learning, large language models (LLMs), agentic AI systems, and computer vision. The lab offers opportunities to work on real-world problems, publish at leading venues, and contribute to the development of safer AI systems. Applicants should be domestic students with strong expertise and genuine interest in at least two relevant AI areas. Python programming skills and familiarity with PyTorch or TensorFlow are expected. Interest or prior experience in security and privacy is important, while experience with agentic AI is considered an advantage. Highly motivated and hard-working applicants are encouraged to apply. The positions are fully funded, although the post does not specify the stipend amount or detailed tuition and benefits coverage. To apply, email Dr. Sayanton Dibbo at [email protected] with a CV, a brief explanation of how your interests and experience align with the lab's research, and links to relevant projects, code, or publications. Use the subject line “Prospective Graduate Student – AI & Security Spring 2027.”
