The Natural Language Learning & Generation (NLLG) Lab at University of Technology Nuremberg (UTN) (https://nl2g.github.io/), headed by Prof. Steffen Eger, and the group of Prof. Simone Ponzetto (http://dws.informatik.uni-mannheim.de) have two fully funded PostDoc or PhD positions (up to 3 years) in Natural Language Processing (NLP).
Application Deadlines: 25.06.2025, 11:59pm CET
Topics: The topics of the position involve detection and analysis of social biases (e.g., relating to gender and migration status) over time (1950s-2020s) and across different languages (German, Italian, Czech, English). To do so, innovative large language model (LLM) based techniques will be leveraged. The students will perform data analysis, data preprocessing and fine-grained human and LLM-based annotation and further explore embedding based approaches to cross-lingual cross-temporal bias detection.
The positions are within the DFG funded project “HistoBias”, which involves three PIs: Prof. Daniela Grunow (University of Frankfurt), Prof. Simone Ponzetto (Univ. of Mannheim), Prof. Steffen Eger (UTN).
Application format: one single PDF including:
* A personal statement that explains why you are well-suited for this research topic (limited to one page)
* A complete, chronological, tabular curriculum vitae (CV) in English
* Certificates of your university degrees (M.Sc. degree and B.Sc. degree) or other equivalent qualification
* Transcript of records, diploma supplements, or overview of courses from your university degrees (M.Sc. degree and B.Sc. degree)
* Master and/or dissertation thesis
