[Corpora-List] Post-Doctoral Researcher (Machine Translation) Vacancy

[Fiona Maguire CNGL]

****

*  *

*Post-Doctoral Researcher (Machine Translation)***

*(Temporary contract to March 2013)*

*  *

The Centre for Next Generation Localisation (CNGL) is a DCU-led Science 
Foundation Ireland (SFI) funded Centre for Science Engineering and 
Technology directed by Prof. Josef van Genabith. CNGL is a €30M 
collaborative research centre that involves Dublin City University, 
Trinity College Dublin, University College Dublin, University of 
Limerick, and nine industrial partners who include world leaders in 
their respective fields.

*/Our work is guided by the vision of enabling people to interact with 
content, products and services in their own language, according to their 
own culture, and according to their own personal needs./*

CNGL is now in the process of expanding its research base through new 
projects funded from a variety of sources (e.g. EU FP7, Enterprise 
Ireland, etc.).

Given the award of the EU-funded project PLUTO (Patent Language 
Translation Online), we wish to recruit a Post-Doctoral Researcher on a 
fixed term contract basis to work in the area of *Machine Translation* 
focused on cross-language search and translation of patent and other 
Intellectual Property material.

*Duties and Responsibilities*

* *

    * The post-holder will be responsible for the specification, design
      and evaluation of system components and configurations for DCU's
      MATREX machine translation framework for use in the multi-partner
      PLUTO research project targeted at deploying novel search and
      translation technologies in a specific document domain (patents).
    * He / she will work at the interface of both Translation Memory
      (TM) and Machine Translation (MT) systems and with both
      statistical and hybrid rules-based MT systems. **
    * He / she will work closely within the DCU team of researchers and
      software developers and with other partners at various academic
      and commercial locations around Europe to deliver on the specified
      programme of research and development, leading to commercial
      deployment of a system for cross-language patent search and
      translation. The post-holder will also have the benefit of
      interaction with the wider CNGL research team, including the
      significant body of researchers working on Language Technology and
      Machine Translation at CNGL.**


  Experience and Skills Required

The post-holder must possess a research Doctoral degree in multilingual 
language technologies, preferably directly related to Machine 
Translation, or a related discipline. Research and/or industrial 
experience in multilingual language technologies, in particular Machine 
Translation, or related discipline is required. We are also seeking 
somebody who can demonstrate:

    * Ability to carry out focused research projects to set timelines
    * Excellent communication and teamworking skills.
    * Experience in software development related to Machine Translation
      systems would be a distinct advantage.
    * Some knowledge of additional European languages would provide an
      advantage.

* *

The PLUTO project is a development-oriented project, where the aim is to 
develop existing Machine Translation technology toward commercial 
deployment, rather than a basic research project aiming to advance the 
state of the art in MT algorithms. The candidate should therefore have a 
preference for a career path in applied research and advanced technology 
development rather than basic research.

*Closing date:* 7 May 2010

*Salary scales: *€37,750 - €46,255
