Applications are invited for an academic position in Natural Language
Processing (NLP) in the School of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh,
as part of a continuing expansion in Natural Language Processing, Machine
Learning and Artificial Intelligence.

The Opportunity:
Natural Language processing is a highly interdisciplinary field of research,
encompassing methods and insights from Computer Science, AI, Linguistics,
Psychology and Cognitive Science. It covers a wide range of linguistic
phenomena and applications, including, among others: machine translation,
syntactic and semantic parsing, text-to-text and concept-to-text generation,
speech and dialogue systems, human robot interaction, knowledge discovery,
sentiment analysis and social media, and multimodal processing of language and
vision and embodied conversation. We are seeking candidates from any subfield
of NLP.

The successful candidates will have (or be near to completing) a PhD, an
established research agenda and the enthusiasm and ability to undertake
original research, and to lead a research group. They will show excellent
teaching capability and engagement with academic supervision. We are seeking
current and future leaders in the field.

Candidates should have a strong technical track record and be interested and
able to teach undergraduate and master’s level courses in NLP as well as
potentially other areas of AI and machine learning.

Applicants must provide:
- A recent CV,
- A 2-3 page research statement, and
- A 2-3 page teaching statement, which should specify the candidate's
experience and approach to teaching, and what specialty and introductory
(particularly pre-honours Informatics) courses they would be prepared and
qualified to teach.
