We are offering a PhD position at the Research unit of the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) in the Capital Region of Denmark, commencing 1 March 2025 or after agreement. The position is a fixed term for 3 years and full time (37 working hours on average per week).

The candidate will be part of a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Doctoral Network (MSCA-DN) Training Network.

We are seeking a highly motivated, talented researcher with a master’s degree in psychology, sociology, anthropology, public health, or related field to join our research team as part of a prestigious Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Doctoral Network (DN) project: AlignAI.


About the Project

The AlignAI Doctoral Network aims to train doctoral candidates in the interdisciplinary Large Language Model (LLM) research field. It focuses on aligning these models with human values to ensure their development and deployment are ethically sound and socially beneficial. By integrating expertise from social sciences, humanities, and technical disciplines, the project will address critical issues such as explainability and fairness, ensuring LLMs contribute positively to education, mental health, and news consumption.

The doctoral candidate will focus on the Positive Mental Health use case, which will inform the development of AI mental health assistants for mental health workers, patients, and patients’ caregivers that summaries medical journal entries, takes journal notes, and spares on diagnostic criteria and treatment planning. To support the co-creation process, the doctoral candidate will conduct interviews with stakeholders and evaluate the acceptability of the tool. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work closely with leading experts in the field.

Planned secondments:

  1. Co-supervision will be provided by Professor Christoph Lütge from the Technical University of Munich who specializes within the field of Ethics and Philosophy.
  2. Fijitsu Germany will act as an external advisor.


Our research

The Research Unit, CAMHS has three main areas of focus within child and adolescent psychiatry: interventions, epidemiology, and translational neuropsychiatry. The unit has an interdisciplinary staff including, psychologists, medical doctors, nurses, specialists within public health and anthropologists.

The doctoral candidate will be a part of the digital psychiatry research group that employs, develops, and tests machine learning techniques, wearables, and artificial intelligence tools in the context of research and practice of child and adolescent psychiatry. The group has a longstanding close collaboration with data scientists at the Technical University of Denmark. The group is currently working on automating evaluation of cognitive behaviour therapy for obsessive compulsive disorder, developing and testing an app-based intervention, and a national digital mental health platform.
