PhD position on AI/NLP/IR at the University of Amsterdam

The University of Amsterdam has a fully funded PhD position on AI/NLP/IR 
for information access.

We seek an ambitious PhD student with a background in artificial 
intelligence, natural language processing and information retrieval.  
Your focus will be on large language models (LLMs) for information 
access. How can we search specific collections, including full text, 
metadata, and multimodal content? How can we support complex search 
tasks and practices, such as scholarly research on cultural data, and 
the research and workflow of investigative journalism?

The PhD position is part of four PhD vacancies as part of digital 
Humanities, Artificial Intelligence, Cultural Heritage (HAICu) project, 
a large national science agenda project funded by the Netherlands 
Organization for Scientific Research. We are one of the best European 
and global places to study AI, and you will work together with other AI 
and Digital Humanities researchers, and a range of external partners on 
scientific breakthroughs. HAICu deploys artificial intelligence (AI) to 
make digital heritage collections more accessible, and the extraordinary 
challenges of cultural heritage provide a unique opportunity to push the 
boundaries of AI. The PhD position is fully funded and you will be 
employed by the University of Amsterdam for four years (full-time, with 
all employment benefits) and are expected to complete a PhD thesis 
within this period.

Are you interested? Strong candidates with an AI/NLP/IR background are 
encouraged to apply by May 15. Details are in: 
https://vacatures.uva.nl/UvA/job/4PhDs/792167402/ (Project #1).

Feel free to reach out with questions or comments!
