Cambridge ESOL, part of the Cambridge Assessment Group, Europe's largest
assessment agency, wishes to provide funding for potential graduate
students who would like to enter the PhD programmes offered by the
University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory in the area of Natural
Language and Information Processing. 

The scholarship is offered to inform the English Profile Programme (EPP)
and as part of the Computer Laboratory's (CUCL) contribution to the
second phase of EPP. The PhD candidate would investigate the use of
data/text mining and knowledge discovery techniques as an empirical and
systematic method for uncovering criterial, discriminative linguistic
features of the different Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR)
levels, exemplified in the Cambridge Learner Corpus (CLC) and other
learner text being gathered as part of the EPP. An appropriate candidate
for the PhD studentship will have a good first-class honours or
equivalent degrees in computer science and some expertise in
computational linguistics, statistics, machine learning, and/or data
mining.
