Salary: £35,477 – £43,734 per annun Closing Date: 31st March 2020 This position is funded jointly by the This position is funded by the ERC MultiMT project (https://multimt.github.io/): Multimodal Context Modelling for Machine Translation and a US Air Force Research Lab-funded project on region-specific multimodal machine translation. ERC (European Research Council) research grants provide “attractive, long-term funding to support excellent investigators and their research teams to pursue ground-breaking, high-gain/high-risk research. Part time positions would be considered. Research funded by the ERC is expected to lead to advances at the frontiers of knowledge and to set a clear and inspirational target for frontier research across Europe” (ERC Work Programme 2015). These projects are led by Professor Lucia Specia (http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~lspecia/) at Imperial College London. It is a highly interdisciplinary project involving natural language processing, speech processing, computer vision and machine learning. Duties and responsibilities We are seeking to hire a Research Associate to contribute towards multimodal machine learning and its applications to language tasks, in particular machine translation, simultaneous machine translation, quality prediction, image/video captioning, among others. Essential requirements A strong track record in at least one of the following areas is essential for this post and preference will be given to applicants with experience in multimodal work involving two of more of these areas: - Machine learning - Natural language processing - Computer vision. In particular, the following skills are required: - Experience in the modelling of natural language processing/computer vision or multimodal tasks using machine learning - Experience with deep learning algorithms and deep learning frameworks (e.g. PyTorch, TensorFlow) - Significant experience with coding As Research Associate you must have a PhD (or equivalent) in an area pertinent to the subject areas above. Preference will be given to applicants with proven research record and publications in A-ranked venues. You will need to have excellent written and verbal communication skills and be able to organise your work with minimal supervision and prioritise work to meet deadlines.
