You should have experience of Machine Translation or similar sequence to sequence tasks (such as Text Simplification or Text Summarisation). You should also have knowledge of Deep Learning frameworks and excellent programming skills in Python. The posts are fixed term until 31 December 2021. There is one full-time at 100% FTE and one part-time position 57% FTE. We’re one of the best not-for-profit organisations to work for in the UK.
