Eleven PhD positions in interactive natural language technology for explainable AI (NL4XAI) at various universities in Europe

Dear Colleagues,

Eleven PhD positions are offered within the framework of *NL4XAI:
Interactive Natural Language Technology for Explainable Artificial
Intelligence*, a project funded by the European Union?s Horizon 2020
research and innovation programme under the Marie Sk?odowska-Curie Grant
Agreement No. 860621.

NL4XAI is a European Training Network (ETN) project, which will train *11
creative, entrepreneurial and innovative early-stage researchers (ESRs)*,
who will face the challenge of making Artificial Intelligence (AI)
self-explanatory and thus contribute to translating knowledge into products
and services for economic and social benefit, with the support of
Explainable AI (XAI) systems.

The focus of NL4XAI is in the *automatic generation of interactive
explanations in natural language*, just as humans naturally do, and as a
complement to visualization tools. As a result, ESRs are expected to
leverage the usage of AI models and techniques even by non-expert users.

The NL4XAI consortium is made up of *18 partners and beneficiaries from 6
different European countries* (France, Malta, Poland, Spain, The
Netherlands and the United Kingdom). The consortium is coordinated by the
Research Centre in Intelligent Technologies of the Univ. of Santiago de
Compostela (CiTIUS-USC) and the partners correspond to 2 national R&D
centres (IIIA-CSIC and CNRS-LORIA), 10 universities (Univ. Aberdeen, TU
Delft, Univ. Malta, Utrecht Univ., Univ. Twente, Univ. Lorraine, Univ.
Dundee, Univ. Autònoma de Barcelona, Univ. Santiago de Compostela and
Warsaw Univ. of Technology) and 6 private companies (Indra, Accenture,
Orange, Wizenoze, Arria and Info Support).

Each ESR will work in an individual research project in a different host
institution and will participate in *academic and inter-sectoral
secondments* at the premises of other NL4XAI?s members.

We look for outstanding, motivated and team-spirited candidates to carry
out a *PhD* within the NL4XAI ETN and who will get unique international and
inter-sectoral training from prominent European researchers (from both
academy and industry).

*All details* are available at:

Please, don't hesitate to contact me for further information.

Best regards,
Jose
