Two Postdoctoral Positions in NLP and Conversational AI – University of St.Gallen, Switzerland

October 28, 2026

Dear colleagues,

We are inviting applications for two postdoctoral researcher positions in the SNSF-funded CREST-AI project at the University of St.Gallen (HSG), Switzerland.

CREST-AI brings together NLP, philosophy, and law to develop interpretable and adaptive language AI that helps people understand and reason about complex information.

We are recruiting for two complementary positions:

 1.
Postdoctoral Researcher in NLP and Human-Centered AI: Research on user modeling, LLM reasoning, neuro-symbolic NLP, and interpretable representations of users’ beliefs, uncertainty, and misconceptions.
Job details and application: https://jobs.unisg.ch/offene-stellen/postdoctoral-researcher-in-nlp-and-human-centered-ai-m-w-d/97f7ad1c-fa1d-43af-89a6-cd38f3f317dd

 2.
Postdoctoral Researcher in Conversational AI and LLMs: Research on grounded and adaptive dialogue systems, LLM post-training, reinforcement learning, and human-centered evaluation.
Job details and application: https://jobs.unisg.ch/offene-stellen/postdoctoral-researcher-in-conversational-ai-and-llms-m-w-d/d3780d8c-fa45-4b9c-9aab-c9c4b7702dce

Both positions are expected to start on 1 February 2027 (or by agreement). Applicants should hold a PhD in computer science, computational linguistics, or a related field, with a strong research background in NLP or AI.

We offer opportunities for independent research, interdisciplinary collaboration, funded conference participation, and dedicated computational resources.

Application review begins on 23 November 2026 and continues until the positions are filled.

Please apply through the official HSG application portal using the links above.

Feel free to share these opportunities with potentially interested candidates.

Best regards,
Christina Niklaus
Assistant Professor
