The Research Group in Computational Linguistics (RGCL)
(http://rgcl.wlv.ac.uk <http://rgcl.wlv.ac.uk/>) at University of
Wolverhampton seeks to appoint a Reader in Computational Linguistics to
boost the already successful research carried out by the group. The
purpose of this post is to strengthen the research group by enhancing
its research and publications in the field of computational linguistics.
You will be expected to produce REF-returnable outputs, attract external
income, seek industrial collaborations, teach at Masters level and
supervise PhD students. We welcome any outstanding individuals whose
research enhances or complements the topics already pursued by RGCL.
*Profile*
You will hold a PhD (or equivalent) in a field related to computational
linguistics, computer science, artificial intelligence or machine
translation, and will have carried out extensive research in the area 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 the field of computational linguistics and is
recognised internationally (e.g. through publications in journals). You
should have a track record of having successfully obtained funding from
external sources and successfully completed projects. You should have
teaching experience and a track record in supervising PhD students.
Applications from candidates with strong computational background and
knowledge of using deep learning for computational linguistics are
encouraged.
*How to apply*
Please apply online however applications should include an up to date CV
and a cover letter detailing your experience in the area and research
plans for the next three years (maximum 4 pages).
The applications should be made via the University of Wolverhampton's

*The Research Group in Computational Linguistics*
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 and its research has received
world-wide recognition. Since its inception, the research group has
become an international leader in applied NLP and has been very
successful in securing funding from highly competitive sources. This has
enabled members of the group to make important contributions to
different areas of NLP and computational linguistics.
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. Currently, RGCL is coordinating the
prestigious Erasmus Mundus Master Programme in Technologies for
Translation and Interpreting (https://em-tti.eu <https://em-tti.eu/>).
The University of Wolverhampton values a diverse workforce and welcomes
applications from all sections of the community.
