About the Position

The research group led by Prof. Dr. Andrey Ustyuzhanin at Constructor University, in collaboration with Constructor Knowledge Labs (CKL) and Constructor Technology (industry partner), invites applications for Ph.D. student positions in the field of Computer Science, with a focus on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML).

  • Designing models that provide interpretable, persistent, and navigable structures of knowledge.
  • Addressing challenges such as hierarchy, composability, and coarse-graining for robust, task-specific reasoning.
  • Exploring individual and community-level knowledge modeling, including personalized domain maps, profile extraction from artifacts (e.g., papers, courses), and cross-domain abstraction.

The overarching goal is to create systems that enable transparent, adaptive, and spatially intuitive representations of knowledge, supporting both individual users and collaborative communities.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
