research environment at the University of Copenhagen is internationally 
leading, as e.g. evidenced by it being ranked 2nd in Europe according to 
CSRankings.

The position is offered in the context of an ERC Starting Grant held by 
Isabelle Augenstein on ‘Explainable and Robust Automatic Fact Checking 
(ExplainYourself)’. ERC Starting Grant is a highly competitive funding program 
by the European Research Council to support the most talented early-career 
scientists in Europe with funding for a period of 5 years for blue-skies 
research to build up or expand their research groups.
The project team will consist of the principle investigator, two PhD students 
and postdocs each, collaborators from CopeNLU as well as external 
collaborators. The role of the postdoctoral researcher to be recruited in this 
call will be to research explainable fact checking with a focus on diverse user 
needs of end users in collaboration with the larger project team.
