The Semantic Computing Group at Bielefeld University performs research at the intersection of natural language processing and knowledge representation.
We have two openings for research positions in the LLM4KMU project. The project is carried out in cooperation with several companies in the area of Bielefeld (Semalytix, CLAAS, PrimeLine, MatPlus etc.) and has the goal of understanding how LLM-based models can be adapted effectively to real use cases. The research involves investigating the adaptation, transfer, etc. of models across tasks. It also involves researching how models can be made more robust and how hallucinations can be reduced. The two available positions will have a different focus: Position Wiss25002: The position holder will work in particular in the area of text generation and develop and evaluate new methods for smaller companies. Conceivable examples include methods for interacting with unstructured data or methods for improving and maintaining corporate language. In addition, the position holder will be responsible for leading and implementing the development of a benchmarking platform for LLMs. on non-academic tasks. See [1] for details. Position Wiss25008: The position holder will conduct research in the field of information extraction and develop methods for extracting information from published clinical studies. On this basis, a portal for searching and summarizing the results of clinical studies will be developed. See [2] for details. Position requirements: - master’s degree in computational linguistics, computer science, data science or a related field, - demonstrated ability to work scientifically (e.g. through Master thesis or publications) - strong analytical, conceptual and communicative skills - ability to work in a larger team The following aspects are a plus but not necessary: - experience in natural language processing or natural language generation learning, LLMs, - experience in software development in a non-academic environment - experience in the development of web applications (only for Position Wiss25008). The positions are available for 3 years starting from June 2025. The positions offer the opportunity to pursue a PhD. Postdoctoral candidates can apply as well. Knowledge of German is not required but is an advantage. The application deadline is the 20th of March, 2025. Please send your applications to [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>-bielefeld with a CV, short motivation letter and publication record, if applicable. Please indicate in your application whether you are applying for Position Wiss25002 or Position Wiss25008, or both.
