[Corpora-List] Fixed-term Postdoc position in DIALOGUE SYSTEMS at University of Edinburgh

[Alex Lascarides]

	POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCHER IN DIALOGUE SYSTEMS

The School of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh invites
applications for a three-year postdoctoral researcher and a research
fellow in DIALOGUE SYSTEMS, commencing June 1st, 2011 or as soon as
possible thereafter.

Candidates should have experience in building and evaluating dialogue
systems and an excellent track record in publishing papers as first
author or co-author in high quality journals and conferences on such
research.  In addition, a working knolwedge of formally precise
computational semantic models of dialogue processing and/or a
background in formal models of human action and decision making (e.g.,
game theory, BDI logics, logics of preferences or AI-based models of
planning) would be highly desirable.  

The researcher will form part of a team that includes researchers in
Toulouse, Edinburgh and Heriot Watt funded on an ERC grant entitled
"Strategic Conversation".  This grant aims to study and analyse
non-cooperative natural language conversations in several domains, but
in particular in the domain of the game Settlers of Catan (a trading
game over restricted resources).  The researcher will be collecting
and analysing a corpus of humans playing Settlers, and building a
symbolic dialogue system that plays Settlers.

The deadline for applications is 3rd MAY.
