> > Dear all, > > We have an opening for a 3-year position of Research Associate or Research > Fellow in Machine Learning with applications to Machine Translation and > Multimodal Language Processing. This position is funded by the ERC MultiMT > project: Multi-modal Context Modelling for Machine Translation, led by > Prof. Lucia Specia (www.dcs.shef.ac.uk/~lucia) at the University of > Sheffield. > > This is a highly interdisciplinary project involving Natural Language > Processing, Computer Vision and Machine Learning. Its goal is to devise > methods and algorithms to exploit global multi-modal information for > context modelling in Machine Translation. The post holder will be expected > to investigate new ways to acquire multilingual multi-modal > representations, and new machine learning and inference algorithms that can > learn from these rich context models to generate high quality translations. > In addition, if appointed as Research Fellow, the post holder will be > expected to make significant contributions to multi-modal language > processing in general, drawing from their experience in Computer Vision and > Natural Language Processing. > > This is an opportunity to work in a well-connected international team with > world-leading reputation in the Natural Language Processing (NLP) research > group at the University of Sheffield. The NLP group is well known > internationally for its research, and is one of the largest research groups > in the area in Europe. > > This post offers excellent opportunities for publications, project visits > and conference trips. Applicants should have (for Research Associate (RA) > and Research Fellow (RF) posts): > > - PhD (or equivalent work experience) in Computer Science, Statistics, > Mathematics or related areas > - Significant experience and track record in Machine Learning (RA and RF) > - Strong publication record commensurate with career stage (RA and RF) > - Experience and strong track record in Computer Vision (desirable for RA, > required for RF) > - Experience and strong track record in Natural Language Processing > (desirable for both RA and RF) > - Strong programming experience, particularly in Python or C++. (RA and RF) > > This post is fixed-term with a start date from August 2016 (or soon after) > and duration of 3 years with possibility of extension to 5 years. > > Salary range: £28,847 to £46,414 per annum. > > For informal inquiries contact Dr. Lucia Specia: l.spe...@sheffield.ac.uk > > For more information about the post and for applications: > http://www.shef.ac.uk/jobs, Search and apply for jobs using reference > number UOS014018 > > Closing date: 18 July 2016. > > > Lucia www.dcs.shef.ac.uk/~lucia/
