Explore LLM uncertainty quantification and calibration research as a Postdoctoral Fellow with limited hybrid work eligibility at the NRC.

This two-year fellowship develops methods for uncertainty quantification in large language model outputs and intermediate features. The work addresses confidence metrics, interpretability, trustworthy AI, and human-AI interaction. You will work autonomously under direct supervision, with guidance from the project lead, and may contribute to related LLM interpretability and evaluation research.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Develop uncertainty quantification methods for LLM outputs
  • Apply methods to intermediate model features
  • Investigate certainty metrics for generated text
  • Study applications in safety and evaluation
  • Present research at international venues

Requirements:

  • PhD in computer science, mathematics, statistics, physics, or related discipline
  • Recent PhD or completion within six months
  • Experience designing novel AI research projects
  • Experience with deep learning tools and libraries
  • Publication record demonstrating experimental and scientific contributions

Advance NRC research on LLM calibration, uncertainty metrics, interpretability, and trustworthy generative AI applications.
