Do you want to shape the future of trustworthy generative AI and its applications in areas like healthcare and robotics? Join our team to develop and verify next-generation AI systems using cutting-edge neural-symbolic approaches in a leading European research collaboration.

About us 

The Department of Computer Science and Engineering, a joint department of Chalmers and the University of Gothenburg, spans the breadth of computing disciplines. Our internationally visible research, strong industry links and diverse environment create a collaborative setting where ideas grow into real impact. 

At the division of Interaction Design and Software Engineering, we design smarter ways to engineer better software, and explore how people engage with digital systems, combining global research perspectives with strong collaboration with industry.

About the research project  

The EU Horizon Europe Project RobustifAI investigates how neural-symbolic approaches can increase the trustworthiness of generative AI (e.g., LLMs or VLMs). We are seeking a passionate and driven postdoc to join our research team, who is expected to also collaborate closely with other leading faculty in Europe in this domain. You will explore innovative ways to verify generative AI models, as well as design and synthesize them to ensure safe, appropriate responses. The primary use case is service robotics (e.g., robots for elderly care), where a robot will be available at Chalmers to validate the concept.

Who we are looking for 

The following requirements are mandatory: 

• A doctoral degree in computer science or an equivalent foreign degree. This eligibility requirement must be met no later than the time the employment decision is made  
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English 
• Experience in AI/ML research or software engineering for AI/ML, with a strong publication record (CORE A* or A conferences)

You are expected to be somewhat accustomed to teaching, and to demonstrate good potential in research and education. 

The following experience will strengthen your application: 

• It is highly meritorious if the doctoral degree has been obtained within the last three years prior to the application deadline
• Strong mathematical skills
• Research in attack or defense techniques for LLMs/VLMs/VLAs
• Experience in prototyping robots using ROS2 

What you will do 

• Act as the acting project lead at Chalmers’ side and drive the research activities
• Supervise master’s and/or PhD students to a certain extent 
• Possibility to engage in teaching at undergraduate/master’s level 

The position is meritorious for future roles in academia, industry, or the public sector. 

Contract terms  

The position is a temporary full-time employment until the end of the project, i.e., 2028.05.31. 

The position requires physical presence throughout the entire employment. A valid residence permit must be presented by the start date, otherwise the offer may be withdrawn. 

What we offer 

• As a postdoc at Chalmers, you are an employee and enjoy all employee benefits. Read more about  working at Chalmers  and our benefits  for employees. 
• A dynamic and inspiring working environment in the coastal city of Gothenburg. 
• Read more about Sweden’s generous parental leave, subsidized day care, free schools, healthcare etc at Move To Gothenburg. 

Chalmers is dedicated to improving gender balance and actively works with equality projects, such as the GENIE Initiative for gender equality and excellence. We celebrate diversity and consider equality and inclusion as fundamental aspects of all our activities. 

If Swedish is not your native language, Chalmers offers Swedish courses to help you settle in.
