Postdoc opportunity at the IT University of Copenhagen in an exciting project on improving citizens’ experience in emergency triage https://candidate.hr-manager.net/ApplicationInit.aspx?cid=119&ProjectId=...
Extended application deadline: 1 October 2025
We are looking to hire a postdoc in data science/natural language processing to contribute to an innovative research project aimed at streamlining citizens’ encounters with emergency medical services using AI technology. The project stands out by using public data for public good with access to one of the largest real-world healthcare dialogue datasets in Europe and by exploring novel approaches to human-AI alignment, where both citizens and AI systems adapt to each other through dynamic interaction. As part of an interdisciplinary team, you will be a part of the NLPnorth natural language processing group at the IT University of Copenhagen, and work closely with human-computer interaction experts at the University of Copenhagen and the Emergency Medical Services of the Capital Region of Denmark. Your primary role in the project will involve:
* Research on exploiting large language models to facilitate effective communication with citizens in medical emergency scenarios, leading to academic publications in top-tier venues. * Research on countering and mitigating LLM uncertainty and overconfidence to achieve human-AI alignment in emergency care. * Deploying and evaluating automatic speech recognition models to transcribe emergency hotline calls in Danish with high accuracy. * Implementing RAG-based LLM solutions for reliable and factual interaction with citizens in emergency situations. The postdoc will be a part of the NLPnorth research group at the IT University of Copenhagen (https://nlpnorth.github.io/).
