*** Apologies for cross-posting *** The Research Group in Computational Linguistics at the University of Wolverhampton (http://rgcl.wlv.ac.uk) is currently recruiting a Reader in Translation Technology (permanent) and a Research Fellow in Translation Technology (3 year position with the possibility of extension). The purpose of these posts is to strengthen the research group by enhancing its research and publications in the field of translation technology. The appointed candidates will be expected to produce REF-returnable outputs, attract external income, seek industrial collaborations, teach at Masters level and supervise PhD students.
------- Profile ------- The post holders will hold a first degree in a relevant discipline, together with a PhD (or equivalent) in a field related to machine translation, translation memories or translation technologies, and will have completed work at postdoctoral research level at a university, research institute or in a related part of the private sector in the UK or abroad. They will be proficient in a range of subject-specific skills and ideally will have extensive experience in site-based research settings. The post holders will be able to demonstrate the ability to work independently to develop new research objectives and proposals including contributing to the securing of external funding and collaborative projects. For the research fellow position, the appointed candidate will have a developing portfolio of publications in high impact peer-reviewed research journals or equivalent, relevant to their field and will have supervised student research projects. Programming skills and experience with the development of software in fields related to translation technology are a plus, but not compulsory. We will also consider candidates from a corpus linguistics/translation studies background who have experience in using technologies in translation. For the reader position, the appointed candidate should have evidence of an individual track record in research which is at the cutting edge of machine translation and/or translation technology and is recognised internationally (e.g. through publications in journals). They should have a track record of having successfully obtained funding from external sources and successfully completed projects. Candidates should have teaching experience and a track record in supervising PhD students. ------------ How to apply ------------ The applications should be made via the University of Wolverhampton's e-recruitment site: https://jobs.wlv.ac.uk/vacancies.html The closing date for the applications is 23 March 2017. Interview dates to be confirmed. Start of the posts: to be agreed with the successful candidates, but no later than autumn 2017. For informal discussion about the roles please contact Dr Constantin Orasan ([email protected]). ----------------------------------------------- The Research Group in Computational Linguistics ----------------------------------------------- The Research Group in Computational Linguistics (http://rgcl.wlv.ac.uk) at the University of Wolverhampton was founded by Prof. Ruslan Mitkov in 1998 and is one of the leading research groups in computational linguistics in the UK. The group is well known for its high level research with strong international and inter-sector collaboration, and is renowned for its innovative NLP research and development of various NLP tools and resources. RGCL was the coordinator of the recently completed EXPERT project (http://expert-itn.eu) which trained young res earchers to promote the research, development and use of hybrid language translation technologies. The reader and research fellow to be appointed are expected to continue the work in this direction. -- Dr. Constantin Orasan <[email protected]> Reader in Computational Linguistics Deputy Head of the Research Group in Computational Linguistics Research Group in Computational Linguistics http://www.wlv.ac.uk/~in6093/ University of Wolverhampton
