<h2><small><small><small>Natural Language Processing Research
Group,<big> </big></small><small><strong>University of
Sheffield</strong> - Department of Computer Science</small></small></small></h2>
<p>Applications are invited for two fully funded PhD studentships
on the topics stated above.</p>
<p><small><strong>Application closing date is 4 March 2011.</strong></small></p>
<p>Further particulars on each of the studentships as well as
eligibility criteria are available from the URLs above.<br>
</p>
<p>Candidates should have a First Class Honours or a good 2.1
degree in Computer Science or Mathematics and have excellent
computer programming skills. Experience with natural language
processing is essential, and detailed knowledge of machine
learning, text summarisation and/or natural language generation
would be highly desirable. Research experience with Facebook,
Twitter, and other social media would also be desirable, but is
not strictly necessary, as would be knowledge of GATE.</p>
<p>For further information please contact Dr Kalina Bontcheva (<a
href="mailto:K.Bontcheva@dcs.shef.ac.uk">K.Bontcheva@dcs.shef.ac.uk</a>)
or Dr Trevor Cohn (<a href="mailto:tcohn@dcs.shef.ac.uk">tcohn@dcs.shef.ac.uk</a>)
(only for the studentship on machine learning).</p>
