Student Researcher at Google DeepMind in AI for creative writing and HCI

[Piotr Mirowski]

Hello,

I will host a student researcher at Google DeepMind and am looking for PhD students interested in the intersection of creative writing and human-computer interaction.

Your work will contribute to moving beyond generative AI towards formative AI. You will be designing tools and evaluation methods to support writers in their creative process.

The role will tentatively start in March-April 2026 and will be based on site in London.

Interested? Please submit your application on the Google Careers website under "Student Researcher, 2026" and then send me an email at piotrmirow...@google.com. Please include "[SR 2026]" in the subject line and tell me how you think about AI for creativity.

To learn more about what we have been doing, here is a sample of our recent work:

"Co-Writing Screenplays and Theatre Scripts with Language Models: Evaluation by Industry Professionals" (CHI 2023)

"A robot walks into a bar: Can language models serve as creativity support tools for comedy? an evaluation of llms’ humour alignment with comedians" (FAccT 2024)

"AI and Non-Western Art Worlds: Reimagining Critical AI Futures through Artistic Inquiry and Situated Dialogue" (CHI 2025)

And our work on building Fabula, a tool for creative writing support.

Thank you,

Piotr
