Project: AI for Eliciting Patient Histories This 3.5-year PhD explores how artificial intelligence can be integrated into clinical consultations to improve the quality of interaction between clinicians and patients. Based in the Institute of Health Informatics at University College London, the project focuses on the consultation as a central event in medical care and investigates how emerging technologies can support more patient-centred encounters. The research examines two complementary techno...

Elisa Kreiss is recruiting a PhD student to join the UCLA Communication department and the UCLA NLP group at the University of California, Los Angeles. The research sits at the intersection of computational linguistics, natural language processing, multimodal machine learning, and cognitive science. The project explores how models learn from text and image data and how that learning gives rise to the behaviors observed in trained models. Possible research directions include studying how post-tra...

The Section on Human-Centred Computing at the University of Copenhagen is inviting applicants for one or two PhD fellowships in Human-Computer Interaction as part of the Villum Investigator project TRACTION: Theoretical Research in Human-Computer Interaction . The project is awarded to Professor Kasper Hornbæk , and the fellowships sit within a research effort focused on theory-driven work on interactive systems. The project asks how theory can be used to better understand, evaluate, and design ...

Lund University’s Department of Computer Science is seeking a doctoral student in computer science to research program transformation and software evolution within the Software Development and Environments division at LTH. The project aims to develop tools and techniques that provide rigid guard-rails for software refactoring and other forms of software evolution. Because program transformations may be produced unreliably by human developers or large language models, the research will investigat...

Software Development and Environments at Lund University is recruiting a doctoral student for research on program transformation and software evolution. The position is placed in the Department of Computer Science within a research division that works on refactoring, program analysis, compiler construction, declarative specification languages, distributed development environments, and automatic program repair. The group develops the JastAdd metacompilation framework, together with tools such as ...

This PhD project explores responsible AI for online safety at the intersection of artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and computational social science. The research focuses on developing trustworthy and accountable methods for AI systems that remain reliable when people or other AI systems try to manipulate them. The project includes methodological and empirical work on topics such as detecting AI-driven manipulation, including coordinated influence campaigns and social bots, building early ...

This PhD project sits within the CSIRO Industry PhD scholarship program and is hosted at Monash University in collaboration with CSIRO and Maincode. The research focuses on self-evolving agentic AI : autonomous AI agents that can continue learning, reorganise how they collaborate, and improve as their environments, tasks, and information change over time. The project addresses a major limitation of many current agent frameworks: they are largely static, with predefined knowledge and coordination...

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 l...
