Postdoctoral and PhD Opportunities in NLP, Explainable AI & Digital Humanities
University of Vienna — Deadline: 2 March 2026
The University of Vienna is currently advertising postdoctoral and doctoral positions across multiple faculties. Within two of these calls, I am available as host / supervisor for projects in NLP, explainable AI, and language-centered AI research. Selection is carried out by independent committees.
(A) Postdoctoral positions — E-STEEM Programme (STEM faculties)
Deadline: 2 March 2026
Eligibility: Women applicants only (programme rule)
Within the university-wide E-STEEM programme, I am available as a host for postdoctoral projects in Natural Language Processing and Explainable AI, with a focus on interpretability, human-centered evaluation, and responsible language technologies.
A typical candidate profile would include prior publications in leading NLP venues (e.g. ACL, EMNLP, NAACL or closely related conferences). Projects hosted in my group would be embedded in an active NLP research environment with strong mentorship, modern compute infrastructure, and support for developing an independent research profile.
Programme information (Faculty of Computer Science):

Pre-application contact: nlp.dat...@univie.ac.at
(subject: E-STEEM – pre-application inquiry)
(B) PhD positions — Philological & Cultural Studies
Deadline: 2 March 2026
The Faculty of Philological and Cultural Studies is advertising doctoral positions within its humanities-focused doctoral programmes. Within this call, I am available to supervise PhD projects in Philological and Cultural Studies that draw on methods from linguistics, Digital Humanities, and AI.
Possible project directions, where there is thematic overlap with my research, include explainability of AI systems, linguistic and human-centered perspectives on language technologies, and computational approaches to cultural and historical language data.
