Research fellow in translation/interpreting technologies
Closing date: 17th June 2020
The Centre for Translation Studies (CTS) is pleased to invite
applications for a research fellow position in translation/interpreting
technologies. The Centre for Translation Studies is an internationally
recognised centre for research, scholarship and teaching in translation
and interpreting, and has been awarded funding from Research England’s
new Expanding Excellence in England (E3) fund to launch an ambitious new
research programme. This programme brings together human-based research
practices with cutting-edge advances in machine learning and AI,
focusing on the convergence of human and automated approaches to
different modalities of translation and interpreting in order to
initiate a step-change in the broader translation research agenda. The
‘technological turn’ in translation/interpreting creates exciting
opportunities, but it also requires fresh approaches in order to
understand all the dimensions of its impact, to mitigate drawbacks and
to derive truly innovative solutions.
To support the expansion programme, we seek to appoint a Research Fellow
with expertise in at least one of the research areas of CTS and with a
special interest in translation/interpreting technologies. Candidates
with a background in computational linguistics, NLP or computer science
are welcomed to apply as long as their research is related to
technologies for translation/interpreting. The successful candidate will
undertake research relevant to current and future projects in CTS,
contribute to and lead on the development of external funding bids,
develop interdisciplinary collaborative networks with academic and
non-academic partners, and produce high-quality outputs.
We are looking for a candidate with a PhD in translation/interpreting
studies or a closely related field. Research experience that is
compatible with the strategic direction of CTS’s research, demonstrated
by a track record of high-quality publications, is essential, as is the
proven ability to secure external funding. The success of the research
programme requires multidisciplinary collaborations. Experience in
working with external partners would therefore be a plus.
This is a fixed-term contract until 31 August 2022 but there is a
possibility to extend the post if external research funding can be secured.
For an informal discussion regarding this post, please contact Prof
Sabine Braun, Director of CTS by email ([email protected]).
