Description
A fully-funded PhD studentship at the University of Cambridge (Department of Engineering), open to home and overseas candidates, focused on advancing the safety of large language models (LLMs) through interpretability and behavioural research.
  • Research focus - investigate and improve chain-of-thought (CoT) faithfulness and mitigate encoded reasoning using white-box mechanistic interpretability and black-box behavioural methods
  • Funding - fully funded by Coefficient Giving, covering both tuition fees and maintenance for the duration of the studentship
  • Projects - choose between two scoped research tracks: testing CoT transparency via perturbation methods, or training for reasoning transparency using a human predictor model
  • Eligibility - requires at least a first degree in Engineering or a related field; experience in software development or LLM research is desirable
Apply via the University's Graduate Admissions portal (closing dates: 14 May for October start, 30 July for January start); submit your CV and research proposal separately through the Coefficient Giving application form.
