[Mary Hearne]

Posted on behalf of Andy Way:

I am pleased to announce an opening in the area of Data-Driven Machine
Translation at the National Centre for Language Technology in the School
of Computing, Dublin City University, Ireland: http://www.nclt.dcu.ie/mt/

Excellent knowledge of Example-Based or Statistical approaches to
MT is a prerequisite. The successful candidate will be a strong
programmer, have a track record in machine learning, and have a good
publication record in this field. Experience of participation in
large-scale open evaluations (NIST, IWSLT etc.) would be a distinct
advantage.

Remuneration will be at the rate of Euro 43,000 per annum. The
position is open from 1st August 2007. A contract of one or two
years will be awarded.

We currently have Postgraduate Researchers in the following areas:

- new automatic evaluation metrics for MT
- integrating syntax into SMT
- new methods of word and phrase alignment
- parameter estimation in data-driven MT
- sign language translation
- tree-based translation
- hybrid data-driven MT

Two large-scale proposals are currently under review, which will bring
in more MT students.

Candidates should send their CV (in .pdf format, only) to
away at computing.dcu.ie as soon as possible, and by June 30th at the
latest. Questions or other clarification should be emailed to the same
address.

We look forward to welcoming you to our growing MT team!
Andy.
