About this position

Umeå University is advertising a 2-year postdoctoral scholarship in neurosymbolic AI for the project “Trustworthy AI for wastewater treatment through formal physical and chemical constraints” at the Department of Computing Science.

The project focuses on building AI decision-support methods for wastewater treatment plants that combine neural networks with symbolic reasoning so that recommendations remain physically and chemically consistent. Research themes include symbolic AI, deep learning, knowledge representation and reasoning, logic-based systems, Answer Set Programming, time-series modeling, industrial automation, and interpretable/safe AI for environmental infrastructure.

The scholarship is full-time, tax-free, and totals 750,000 SEK for two years (375,000 SEK per year). The expected start is 1 November 2026 or by agreement. The position is located in Umeå, Sweden.

Eligibility requires a doctoral degree (or equivalent) in computing science or a closely related field, strong English skills, and a strong background in AI. Preferred experience includes Python development, symbolic or sub-symbolic AI, real-world industrial data, publication experience, and familiarity with neurosymbolic frameworks such as ASP, NeurASP, or DeepProbLog.

Apply through Umeå University’s Varbi recruitment system by 31 August 2026. The application should include a cover letter, CV with publication list, degree documentation, transcripts, thesis, up to two articles, additional supporting documents, and contact details for two references.
