🚀 We’re hiring Postdoctoral and Doctoral Researchers in NLP & AI (m/f/d), UKP 
Lab<http://www.ukp.tu-darmstadt.de/>, TU Darmstadt
The UKP Lab, led by Prof. Dr. Iryna Gurevych, is one of Europe’s leading groups 
in Natural Language Processing and is recruiting researchers to join a highly 
international team at the frontier of trustworthy and applied AI. We combine 
fundamental research with open-source tools used worldwide (e.g., Sentence 
Transformers, AdapterHub), and are embedded in a rich ecosystem — ELLIS, Konrad 
Zuse School ELIZA, hessian.AI, and ATHENE.
We are looking for outstanding researchers who want to shape how humans and AI 
systems work together — and ensure that they do so reliably, safely, and in the 
service of people.

Priority research directions:
We especially welcome applications in the following areas, though strong 
candidates across UKP’s wider profile are encouraged to apply:
·        Verification-first AI & evaluation of agentic systems — rigorous, 
expert-grounded evaluation of LLMs and AI agents; trajectory-level reliability 
and safety; calibration; evaluation that scales when content is cheap to 
produce but expensive to verify.
·        Human–AI co-construction for expert and scientific work — 
mixed-initiative interaction, preference elicitation, and AI for science and 
education that preserves human understanding and skill rather than replacing it.
·        Trustworthy NLP for high-stakes domains — misinformation and 
fact-checking, content provenance and AI-text forensics, privacy-preserving 
health and clinical NLP, and NLP for cybersecurity (in collaboration with 
ATHENE).

Related interests are also welcome: LLM reasoning and planning, 
interpretability and robustness for safety, computational argumentation and AI 
for democratic deliberation, efficient and modular models, and 
multilingual/multimodal NLP.

You bring: a PhD or Master’s degree in NLP/ML/CS/HCI or related, a strong 
top-venue publication record (ACL, NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, EMNLP, NAACL, CHI), and 
solid programming skills.
We offer: a world-class ecosystem (ELLIS, ELIZA, hessian.AI, ATHENE), strong 
compute and engineering support, mentorship toward research independence, and a 
vibrant international team in Darmstadt. TV-TU E13, full-time, initially 2 
years (extension possible), starting a.s.a.p.

Apply: via https://careers.ukp.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/ by July 24th, 2026, 
quoting reference to this post. Review begins immediately and continues until 
the position is filled.
