Frequently Asked Questions

How to apply for a PhD with me at the University of Edinburgh?

I have a scholarship for a PhD on efficient architectures of foundation models (with a focus on adative memory and tokenizer-free architectures). The call is open until the position is filled, so please apply as soon as possible. More information here.

In addition, there are two main PhD programmes fully funded by the University: a 3-year PhD at the Institute for Language, Cognition and Computation (ILCC) and a 4-year PhD with integrated study at the Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Designing Responsible NLP.

Feel free to reach out to me by email for any enquiry! Please include [phd-edinburghnlp] in the title. I appreciate emails that reveal your genuine curiosity, enthusiasm, and unique personality.

Do you have openings for postdocs?

Unfortunately, I have no personal funding for a postdoc at the moment. However, if you are intested in joining my group as a postdoc, you might consider securing external funding such as the Marie Skłodowska Curie Fellowship or the EPSRC fellowship. To discuss these opportunities, please send me an email and include [postdoc-edinburghnlp] in the title.

I am a student of Informatics at Edinburgh. Can you supervise me for my MSc/UG4/MInf dissertation project?

Please send me an email with your resume and a trascript with your grades, and we will take it from there!

I am looking for a co-PI/collaborator in a EU grant. Can you still participate in it?

Yes! The UK is now fully associated with Horizon Europe.
