Doctoral students in Large Language Model inferencing

School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at KTH

Third-cycle subject: Computer Science

The advertised doctoral student positions are within an ambitious, 5-year Wallenberg Scholar project titled “Scalable and adaptive inferencing for democratizing AI.” In this 18 Million SEK project, we aim to dramatically reduce the cost and power for serving large language models such as ChatGPT. More details about the project are available at: Wallenberg Foundation.

Overall work will entail pruning and fine-tuning of large language models, as well as design, implementation, and evaluation of distributed systems and networks for machine learning inference.

Minimum Requirements

To be admitted to postgraduate education (Chapter 7, 39 § Swedish Higher Education Ordinance), the applicant must have basic eligibility in accordance with either of the following:

- Passed a second cycle degree (for example a master's degree), or
- Completed course requirements of at least 240 higher education credits, of which at least 60 second-cycle higher education credits, or
- Acquired, in some other way within or outside the country, substantially equivalent knowledge.

In order to succeed as a doctoral student at KTH, you need to be goal-oriented and persevering in your work. During the selection process, candidates will be assessed upon their ability to:

- Independently pursue their work.
- Collaborate with others.
- Maintain a professional approach.
- Analyse and work with complex issues.

We highly value scientific curiosity and the desire to tackle hard, relevant problems in an effort to make important research contributions.

We invite applications from students with a varied computer science and engineering, data science, and machine learning background.

After the qualification requirements, great emphasis will be placed on personal competency.

Information regarding admission and employment

Only those admitted to postgraduate education may be employed as a doctoral student. The total length of employment may not be longer than what corresponds to full-time doctoral education in four years. An employed doctoral student can, to a limited extent (maximum 20%), perform certain tasks within their role, e.g., training and administration. A new position as a doctoral student is for a maximum of one year, and then the employment may be renewed for a maximum of two years at a time. In the case of studies that are to be completed with a licentiate degree, the total period of employment may not be longer than what corresponds to full-time doctoral education for two years.

Application Process

Apply for the position and admission through KTH's recruitment system. It is the applicant’s responsibility to ensure that the application is complete in accordance with the instructions in the advertisement.

Applications must be received by the last closing date at midnight, CET/CEST (Central European Time/Central European Summer Time).

Applications must include the following elements:

- CV including relevant professional experience and knowledge.
- Copies of diplomas and grades from previous university studies and certificates of fulfilled language requirements. Translations into English or Swedish if the original document is not issued in one of these languages. Copies of originals must be certified.
- Representative publications or technical reports. For longer documents, please provide a summary (abstract) and a web link to the full text.

Other Information

Striving towards gender equality, diversity, and equal conditions is both a question of quality for KTH and a given part of our values.

The position may include security-sensitive activities. To become authorized, you therefore need to pass a possible security check.

We firmly decline all contact with staffing, recruitment agencies, and job ad salespersons.

Disclaimer: In case of discrepancy between the Swedish original and the English translation of the job announcement, the Swedish version takes precedence.
