The translation industry is booming, but this is not replicated by
research within this field. The Research Group in Computational
Linguistics (RGCL) seeks to become an international leader in this area
by proposing the next generation of Translation Technology, which has
substantial industry-wide applications. By appointing a Senior Lecturer
in the area of translation technology, RGCL will be able to strengthen
the work it is already carrying out and produce new innovation. You will
be expected to produce high quality research, contribute to attracting
external income, seek industrial collaborations, teach at Masters level
and supervise PhD students. This post is part of a bigger investment of
the University of Wolverhampton in RGCL and specifically in the area of
translation technology which will also appoint another full time
lecturer/senior lecturer and a reader. These two posts will be
advertised shortly.
You 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. You will be proficient in a range of subject-specific skills and
ideally will have extensive experience in site-based research settings.
You 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.
You 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). You should have a track record of applying for, and
ideally having successfully obtained, funding from external sources and
successfully completed projects. You should have teaching experience and
a track record in supervising PhD students. Programming skills and
experience with the development of software in fields related to
translation technology are a plus, but not compulsory.
We encourage applications from candidates who for various personal
reasons cannot commit to full time jobs. This position will allow a
certain amount of work from remote, but will also require to be present
at the university from time to time.
For informal enquiries about the role please contact Prof Ruslan Mitkov

The Research Group in Computational Linguistics (http://rgcl.wlv.ac.uk
<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
<http://expert-itn.eu/>) which trained young researchers to promote the
research, development and use of hybrid language translation technologies.
