The SNSF-funded CREST-AI project aims to shape a new generation of language AI that adapts to people's understanding. CREST-AI brings together NLP, philosophy and law to explore how AI can help people understand, question and reason about complex information, using legal language as a challenging testbed. You will join the research team led by Prof. Christina Niklaus at the University of St.Gallen and develop adaptive dialogue systems that tailor explanations to users' understanding.

Tasks

  • Conduct research on conversational AI and coordinate selected research activities within CREST-AI together with Prof. Christina Niklaus.
  • Develop grounded, adaptive dialogue systems using LLM post-training and reinforcement learning.
  • Build and evaluate a conversational AI prototype through simulations and user studies.
  • Contribute your own research ideas to CREST-AI, publish at leading NLP and AI venues, and present at international conferences.
  • Supervise master's and bachelor's theses and student projects.
  • Support research coordination and academic service.

Requirements

  • PhD in computer science, computational linguistics or a related field, completed by the start date.
  • Research experience in NLP, particularly large language models, dialogue systems or natural language generation.
  • Strong Python and machine learning skills; experience with LLM post-training, reinforcement learning or user studies is a plus.
  • A publication record demonstrating original contributions to NLP, AI or a related field, appropriate to your career stage.
  • Ability to work independently, take initiative and collaborate effectively within a research team.
  • Enthusiasm for interdisciplinary collaboration, particularly with researchers in philosophy and law; no prior expertise in these fields is required.
