Dear colleagues,

I’m pleased to announce that we are recruiting a PhD student for a fully-funded (tuition and stipend) position for the project: “Can a robot impersonate a human? Studying machines’ ability to mimic linguistic identity” funded by an ESRC North West Social Science Doctoral Training Partnership grant.

The position is in collaboration with Naimurihttps://naimuri.com and contains a substantial element of industrial experience.

The project will address the following research questions: (1) To what extent can LLMs impersonate a specific individual such that they can fool forensic linguistic detection? (2) How do we modify existing detection methods to mitigate the problems identified in (1)?

Details and application form can be found here: https://www.findaphd.com/phds/project/can-a-robot-impersonate-a-human-studyi....

Best wishes,

Andrea ___ Dr Andrea Nini | Senior Lecturer in Linguistics and English Language NG13, Samuel Alexander Building, The University of Manchester, Oxford Road, Manchester, M13 9PL, UK +44 (0) 161 275 8529 | andrea.nini@manchester.ac.ukmailto:andrea.nini@manchester.ac.uk www.andreanini.comhttp://www.andreanini.com
