Fully Funded PhD Studentship in Lifelong Robot Learning with Large Language Models

The University of Southampton is offering a fully funded PhD studentship in Lifelong Robot Learning with Large Language Models. The project aims to explore how Large Language Models (LLMs) can be harnessed to continuously acquire new skills to solve novel tasks in a lifelong learning setting. The successful candidate will join the School of Electronics and Computer Science, which is ranked 1st in the UK for Electrical and Electronic Engineering. Applicants must have a strong background in machine learning, and prior knowledge of reinforcement learning, robotics, and training and finetuning LLMs is highly desirable. The funding is available for UK, EU, and Horizon Europe Associated Countries. For exceptional overseas candidates, the fee difference between UK and overseas fees may be covered through other funding schemes. To apply, please send your pre-application package to burhan…@soton.ac.uk. Applications will be considered in the order that they are received.
