Generative AI (GenAI) is changing the ways writing, learning, and education unfold within science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). 

On one hand, GenAI challenges traditional methods of learning and assessment, such as the take-home assignments or exams, which to a large extent can be delegated to GenAI technologies. On the other, GenAI tools such as chatbots and AI tutors are becoming embedded in everyday educational practices, altering how students read, write and learn, how educators teach, and how institutions assess and value student work. It is further an open question to what extent GenAI transforms STEM disciplines. How are expectations around expertise, critical thinking, creativity, and employability changing? And how do educational institutions navigate the balance between human and machine intelligence in shaping future learning environments?

This project invites theoretically and empirically grounded studies that contribute to understanding how GenAI is reconfiguring the practices, purposes, and values of writing, learning and teaching in STEM. Proposals may engage with one or more of the following themes:

• Assessment, Writing, and Academic Integrity: How are AI-assisted writing, coding, and modeling altering notions of originality, authorship, and evaluation? Which new human-machine configurations emerge or become contested in STEM education?
• Transforming STEM Learning and Pedagogy: How are educators, students, and institutions adapting teaching and learning in response to GenAI? In what ways are chatbots, AI tutors and code-assistants changing problem-solving, experimentation, and disciplinary expertise? 
• Educational Transformation and Institutional Practice: How are universities and faculty redesigning curricula, policies, and support systems to protect against or align education with GenAI? What new literacies and competencies are emerging in response to this changing landscape?

Responsibilities and qualifications
The successful candidate will conduct qualitative and organizational research examining how different stakeholders (students, faculty, managers, policymakers) interpret, adopt, resist, or institutionalize GenAI technologies in STEM in higher education. Experience with ethnographic or related qualitative methods is expected. Familiarity with theories from organization studies, science and technology studies (STS), sociology, education studies or related fields will be an asset. 

The PhD will be supervised by Professor Helene Friis Ratner and conducted as part of the Algorithms, Data and Democracy project, founded by the VELUX Foundations. For more information, visit: www.algoritmer.org. The candidate will conduct teaching as part of the ph.d. programme.

If you are interested in exploring both existing and novel optical fibers for generation of entangled quantum states, with the goal of developing a fully fiber-integrated source of mode-entangled photon pairs suitable for applications such as two-photon absorption microscopy, then this PhD position may be relevant for you.

In collaboration with multiple project partners, the PhD will establish a source configuration for generating mode-entangled photons, by taking into account the optimal fiber characteristics required for high-performance operation. Specifications for the fiber’s optical properties needs to be derived established. These will guide the development of a suitable fiber. The design process involves close coordination between theoretical requirements and practical fabrication capabilities, resulting in an iterative optimization to identify a fiber that offers the best balance between desired optical performance and manufacturability.

Using the optimized fiber, a prototype entangled photon-pair source should be constructed and characterized. The performance of the source needs to be evaluated in terms of its ability to meet the initial design specifications, with special attention to its potential use in advanced quantum imaging techniques. This evaluation includes an extrapolation of performance expectations based on further refinement of the fiber and source design.

Finally, the developed source is benchmarked against existing state-of-the-art technologies, such as sources based on spontaneous parametric down-conversion. This comparison highlights the advantages and potential of a fully fiber-integrated approach, marking the first demonstration of a compact, robust source of mode-entangled photon pairs designed specifically for two-photon absorption microscopy.

Responsibilities and qualifications
As part of your research, you will analyze and identify optimal optical fiber characteristics for generating mode-entangled photon pairs and assist in specifying specifications for an optimum fiber design based on specific application of the fiber source. To do this, you will collaborate with a fiber fabrication team. 

In addition, you will construct a prototype source of mode-entangled photons using the optimized fiber as well as other fibers and evaluate the performance of the designed source with respect to application within quantum imaging, using two-photon absorption microscopy. 

The PhD is funded by the Innovation Fund Denmark as part of a EUREKA program and as part of the PhD you will work together with multiple project partners and participate in regular project meetings and contribute to advancement of the composite project.

You must have a two-year master's degree (120 ECTS points) or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year master's degree.
