About Marywood University
Basic information and contact details for Marywood University
Marywood University is a Catholic liberal arts institution in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
Founded in 1915 as the first female Catholic college in the state, it is now coeducational. Its first international students attended the college in 1917. It gained university status in 1997.
Marywood is the first North East Pennsylvanian institution to teach doctoral programmes. There are more than 100 programmes to choose from in total, including history, finance, advertising, digital media, political science, environmental science and music therapy.
Nicknamed the Electric City because of its early use of electric lights in trams, locomotives and steel mills in the 1880s, Scranton is 115 miles from Philadelphia and 120 miles from New York City. A historic railway hub, it is the setting of American sitcom The Office, based on the Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant comedy of the same name.
Its sustainable 140-acre campus has more than 100 different species of trees. Recent additions have included the School of Architecture, School of Business and Global Innovation and the Motherhouse and Seminary Morgan Memorial Garden, built to mark the 1971 fire which destroyed the Motherhouse Building, which hospitalised many.
Marywood is the alma mater of Archbishop Joseph Kurtz, president of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops, and voice actor Michele Knotz, who has provided the voices for four Pok茅mon characters among other roles.

Doctoral Researcher Position in the HUMAIN Project
University of Helsinki
Finland, Helsingfors (Helsinki)
University of Helsinki
Finland, Helsingfors (Helsinki)
We are seeking a highly motivated doctoral researcher to join the聽What Makes Us Human? Identifying, Evaluating and Modelling Specialist AI Competence聽(HUMAIN) project, investigating how large language models (LLMs) approximate, extend, or diverge from human expertise across domains. The starting date is negotiable but should be no later than November 1, 2026. The position is fully funded until August 31, 2030 (46鈥48 months, depending on the starting date). About the project As LLMs become increasingly embedded in education, work, and everyday life, understanding their relationship to human competence is both scientifically and societally urgent. Existing benchmarks largely measure accuracy or linguistic fluency, but overlook the tacit, contextual, and ethical dimensions that define real-world expertise. HUMAIN addresses this gap by developing the online Competence Imitation Game (COMIG), a novel, experimentally validated framework that allows domain experts to interrogate and evaluate human- and LLM-generated responses through structured question-answer-evaluation conversations. Combining computational and interpretive methods, the project will generate reproducible, cross-domain datasets of paired human鈥揂I responses, analysed through embedding-based similarity measures, feature extraction, LLM-as-evaluator approaches, and qualitative interpretation. Domain experts are involved from the outset, helping to develop practitioner-informed metrics for imitation quality, contextual alignment, and pragmatic fit. Empirically, HUMAIN will conduct seven COMIG studies spanning everyday life, education, and work, engaging over 900 participants internationally. The project will also evaluate adaptation techniques, including prompt calibration, retrieval-augmented generation, and fine-tuning, to examine how LLMs can better align with domain-specific reasoning. For more information on COMIG, please see the article 鈥滻ntroducing the Competence Imitation Game: A Research and Teaching Tool for Context-Specific AI Literacy鈥 (https://ceur-ws.org/Vol-4138/paper3.pdf).聽 About the position You will support the further development of COMIG and contribute to empirical data collection, analysis, and reporting. You will be a part of the Research group on AI in Society and Education (RAISE) and work closely with Associate Professor Linda Mannila, PhD Otto Segersven and a postdoctoral researcher to be recruited. Who we are looking for We welcome applicants with a background in computer science, data science, language technology, or a related field. Applicants with, for example, a master's degree in social sciences combined with a strong background in data science, computational methods, or computer science are equally eligible. The position requires: Strong background in research methodology, including the design and implementation of empirical studies with human participants. Strong analysis skills, including both quantitative and qualitative methods. Strong background in computational methods, especially for working with text data. Experience with mixed-methods research (quantitative and qualitative). Excellent English skills. Knowledge of Finnish and/or Swedish, considered a merit, as some studies will preliminarily be conducted in Finnish contexts. LLM expertise, including prompt calibration, retrieval-augmented generation, and fine-tuning, considered a merit. In addition, according to the system of the University of Helsinki, all doctoral researchers belong to a doctoral programme. The successful candidate should apply to Doctoral Programme in Science and obtain the study right within the trial period of six months of their employment contract. Please check the admission periods and eligibility criteria at聽https://www.helsinki.fi/en/admissions-and-education/apply-doctoral-programmes/how-apply-doctoral-programmes.
